Dr. Kristie Roberts-Lewis, most recently senior program manager at the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Institute for Capacity Building, has joined Middle Georgia State University (MGA) as the first executive director of the Center for Middle Georgia Studies.
Roberts-Lewis will direct initiatives taken on by the center, an intellectual and creative enterprise designed to leverage expertise among University faculty and staff to partner with other community entities and take on some of the region’s most difficult challenges.
"I am deeply privileged to have been chosen as the inaugural executive director of the Center for Middle Georgia Studies,” Roberts-Lewis said. “My immediate objectives include nurturing collaborative partnerships with local entities and crafting dynamic educational programs that spotlight the diverse narratives and experiences shaping Middle Georgia.”
