Recreational runner Jaimie L. Hebert, Ph.D., made “Setting the Pace” the watchword as he welcomed faculty who will teach Georgia Southern University’s almost 21,000 students this year before consolidation with Armstrong State University adds over 6,000 more. Starting his second academic year as Georgia Southern’s president, Hebert had a video clip of a runner’s feet pacing uphill shown on the big screen behind him. His “State of the University” speech capped the fall 2017 convocation ceremony Wednesday in the Performing Arts Center.
