“All five new members are wonderful additions to the Board of Trustees,” says Rob Watts, interim president of Georgia Perimeter College. “They have a deep commitment to the access mission of GPC and understand the significant role we play in higher education in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The college will benefit from their service and their willingness to share their experience and expertise with our students.”

The newest members bring a wide range of expertise to the board, including experience in law and medicine.
