Rob Watts has been named interim president of Georgia Highlands College, in Rome. Watts will assume the presidency beginning Jan. 1, following the retirement of current president Randy Pierce. Watts previously served as Georgia Highlands’ — then named Floyd College — interim president from 2000 until the appointment of Pierce in 2001.

“Rob is one of the University System’s most experienced leaders, given his responsibilities at the System Office as well as leadership roles at three other institutions,” said University System of Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby in making the appointment. “We are extremely fortunate to be able to call upon his skills in this important assignment at Georgia Highlands.”
