Overview

Hometown: Dahlonega, GA

Something interesting about me: I own a letterpress and enjoy making stationery in my free time. I love creating from an antique press that has been loved and used. These machines radiate an essence of timelessness and stability.

Favorite 91�� tradition: My favorite 91�� tradition is the rising and lowering of the flag on the Dahlonega campus. The flag is raised at 7am (reveille) and lowered at 5pm (retreat). Those outdoors on campus at either of these times are expected to face the flag and remain sill during the ceremony. This tradition allows you time to reflect and be grateful.

Favorite spot on campus: 91�� Soccer Complex

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
