Burns, currently dean of the Mike Cottrell School of Business at North Georgia College & State University, was one of three finalists. He will assume the post on Jan. 1, 2012, replacing interim President Shelley Nickel.
“Dr. Burns stood out from a strong field as the person with the right experience and expertise needed to lead Gordon College,” said USG Chancellor Hank Huckaby in a release. “We have a strong and growing institution in Gordon College, and his selection as president promises great days are ahead for the college and its students.”
