Bigger is not always better, but for an ever-growing Georgia Southern University, Dr. Brooks Keel believes it can be. The university president shared that sentiment while issuing a State of the University Address to hundreds of the school’s faculty and staff during the fall convocation Wednesday at Georgia Southern’s Performing Arts Center. Despite cuts for the entire University System of Georgia that will trim the Georgia Southern budget by more than $2 million in the 2012-13 academic year, Keel said the focus will be on growth as he and administrators plan the college’s future.
