21st President Selected at GA Military College | Schools

The Georgia Military College Board of Trustees has selected Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell, IV to lead GMC as the schools 21st president.

In a statement on the school's website, the 3-star General will officially assume duties this summer, upon retirement from the United States Army following 37 years of service.

Caldwell presently serves as Commanding General of United States Army North at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The selection of Lt. General Caldwell follows a six-month national search that the trustees say attracted more than 35 qualified candidates.

Search committee chairman Randall A. New said, "The level of nation-wide interest in this opportunity and the quality of the applicants is a testimony to the reputation of the college and the transformational leadership of General Boylan."

Major General Peter Boylan is retiring as the school's president when Caldwell assumes duties. According to GMC's website, Boylan has served as the leader of the school since August 1992.
