General Information

Brief Chronology of VSU

A special act by the Georgia General Assembly established an institution of higher learning in Valdosta,

Georgia, in 1906. South Georgia State Normal College opened to "young ladies" on January 2, 1913 as a

two‐year college specializing in teacher training. An act by the General Assembly in 1922 changed the

institution’s name to Georgia State Womans College at Valdosta and authorized a four‐year liberal arts

program leading to a bachelor’s degree.

In 1950, after 37 years as a woman’s college, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia

approved the coeducational status and a new name for the institution: Valdosta State College. During

the following forty-three years, the school grew exponentially in numbers through expanded

undergraduate and graduate degree programs. In 1993, Valdosta State College was named a Regional

University by the Board of Regents and became Valdosta State University.

As a regional university in South Georgia, VSU collaborates with other University System of Georgia

(USG) institutions to provide educational programs to the university's 41-county service region. To

expand its programmatic outreach, VSU continues to develop and offer distance learning programs and

courses at off‐campus locations throughout Georgia and online.

The institution has been led by nine presidents:

Richard H. Powell (1913-1933)

Jere M. Pound (1933-1935)

Frank R. Reade (1935-1948)

J. Ralph Thaxton (1948-1966)

S. Walter Martin (1966-1978)

Hugh C. Bailey (1978-2001)

Ronald M. Zaccari (2002-2008)

Patrick J. Schloss (2008-2011)

Louis H. Levy, Interim (2011-Present).

Biography of Interim President

Dr. Louis H. Levy was appointed Interim President on July 1, 2011. Levy has

served in a variety of academic and administrative roles at Valdosta State

University before retiring in 2009. He was appointed Assistant Vice President

for Academic Affairs in 1995 and named Interim Vice President for Academic

Affairs in 2000. He was officially appointed to the position of Vice President for

Academic Affairs in 2002, and in 2008 the title of Provost was added to reflect

his expanded responsibilities.

He came to VSU in August 1989 and was a professor and head of the

Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice until November

1995. He has taught in the field of sociology at Southeastern Louisiana

University in Hammond, LA.

Levy earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of

Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette, LA, a master’s degree in sociology from

Louisiana State University in New Orleans, LA, and his doctorate in sociology

from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, VA.

He was the principal investigator in a five-year, $2.9 million U.S. Department of Education grant focused on statewide

teacher recruitment from 2002 to 2007. The project, a partnership with the USG and seven System institutions, along

with 27 high-need local education areas, focused on the preparation of K-12 teachers through alternative programs

from traditional teacher education methods. The grant called for the project to focus particularly on increasing the

diversity of teachers prepared through such programs, as well as ensuring all graduates met the University System of

Georgia’s high teacher performance standards.
