April 13, 2021 GMT
The former Piedmont College officially became Piedmont University on Friday, also adopting a new logo.
The 2,500-student private university tells local news outlets that trustees approved the change last year, reflecting expanded course offerings.
“We’re really not liberal arts undergraduate college any longer. We haven’t been for some time and think the board was aware of that,” President James Mellichamp told the Athens Banner-Herald. The school is based in Demorest and has a second campus in Athens.

BRANCHVILLE, N.J., March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A survey of small businesses conducted by Appalachian State University in coordination with Selective found that cybersecurity and technology issues were growing concerns for 44% of survey respondents due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, only 20% of survey respondents have cyber insurance coverage.
The findings highlight an awareness gap among small businesses about the risks they face from cybercrime. Twenty-eight percent of data breaches impact small businesses, and phishing attacks account for over 30% of breaches, making them the biggest cyber threat for small organizations.
