Dr. Jaimie Hebert’s schedule for Friday, his first day as president of Georgia Southern University, includes meeting with his presidential cabinet, touring campus with a student Southern Ambassador, having lunch in the Dining Commons, and an interview with the Statesboro Herald. Hired in April by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, Hebert was one of five semifinalists for the job who spoke to the public during a series of visits to campus in late February and early March. Then provost and vice president for academic affairs at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, Hebert was the one who talked about public universities as bastions of civility.
