Dr. Ken Crowe has been named executive director of the University of North Georgia's (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) Cumming Campus, effective Sept. 1.

Crowe has served at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ as assistant vice president for Facilities since April 2017. As the chief administrator for the Cumming Campus, Crowe will work with Dr. Steven Smith, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's new vice president for regional campuses, as well as colleagues across the university to advance educational opportunities and community partnerships.

"As a resident of Dawsonville, Dr. Crowe brings significant regional knowledge and experience to this position," Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ President Bonita Jacobs said. "I am grateful to Dr. Steven Lloyd, vice provost, for chairing the search for this position and the committee for leading this important work. The Cumming Campus opened in 2012, and it has grown quickly. This fall, we will break ground for a new building that will enable us to accommodate future growth. I am confident Dr. Crowe will serve Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and the Cumming Campus well in this next chapter of its development."

Prior to joining Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in 2015 as director of capital planning and project management, Crowe served the University System of Georgia as director of management and operations, the University of Georgia as director of energy services and other facilities management roles, and Georgia Power Company as a key account manager.

He holds a Doctor of Education in higher education leadership and practice from Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, a Master of Business Administration from Brenau University, and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech. 

"I am thrilled to start this new adventure in my career. I am excited to start a capstone assignment where I can merge my experiences and relationships to further the influence of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in the Cumming and Forsyth County area," Crowe said. "I cherish the opportunity to be more directly engaged with our awesome students."
