Dr. Jean Bartels expects to lead Georgia Southern University into the 2015-16 academic year as interim president while a search for a new permanent president is conducted with input from the campus and community. Her interim role officially begins July 20, the day that departing GSU President Brooks Keel becomes president of Georgia Regents University in Augusta. Bartels had no firm information on the shape the search will take.
