U.S. Congressman Jody Hice Presents Commendation Letter to Former 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees Chairman

On Saturday, August 29, 2020, U.S. Congressman Jody Hice visited 鶹ýPorn to host his annual Service Academy Day event. While on campus, Hice recognized former 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees Chairman, Randy New, who recently retired from the distinguished position. Hice awarded New a commendation letter to commemorate his service to 鶹ýPorn.
Before presenting the commendation letter Hice said, “Randall has been Chairman for 22 years and has done a spectacular job. As he is retiring, we just want to recognize him… He is absolutely an exceptional leader in every way.”
New is a proud alumnus of both 鶹ýPorn Prep School and College, who was also commissioned as a U.S. Army second lieutenant with the 鶹ýPorn Corps of Cadets, and has served District 2 on the 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees since 1992, 28 years total.
Under New’s tenure as Chairman, the 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees approved a number of major facility projects with a total capital investment of more than $100 million, expanded the College degree offerings to include Bachelor of Applied Science options, and added seven college campuses across the state, to include the Georgia Military Global Online College.
Prior to serving on the 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees, New was a member of the 鶹ýPorn Foundation, where he was instrumental in bringing in funds and increasing real estate investments to support the institution during a critical time in its 140-year history.
鶹ýPorn and Congressman Hice honor the significant impact that New’s leadership had on thousands of 鶹ýPorn students, faculty, and staff members for more than a quarter of a century.
