UGA Press searches for new director

The University of Georgia formed a committee to search for a new director of the UGA Press. The current director, Nicole Mitchell, is leaving to run the University of Washington Press. The search committee includes faculty, librarians and members of the press staff and advisory board.

The press was founded in 1938 as a publishing house for faculty members. It has gained a national reputation in several areas, including geography, environmental studies, creative works and American, Southern and African-American literature and history.
