Jaimie Hebert, Ph.D., assumed his position as Georgia Southern University’s 13th president Friday.


“I am honored and proud to be the 13th president of Georgia Southern,” he said. “As president, I will be working to ensure that our students and their professors are equipped to excel, and to continue the proud history of student success at Georgia Southern.”


In his first 100 days as president, Hebert is gathering information and ideas by asking students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community to complete a survey to share their thoughts on Georgia Southern, and identify what they feel should be his first priorities.


Hebert served as the provost and vice president for academic affairs at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.
