His career included several positions at the University of Georgia. He was director of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government (1997-2000), senior vice president of Finance and Administration (2000-2006) and a special assistant to the president on a part-time basis (2006-2009).

SGA has not passed a piece of legislation about the continued approval of HOPE and Zell since 2011 when changes were last made to the scholarships.
âThe idea is to have support on the record in years where there isnât potential change as a way to make a [stronger argument of support] whenever there is change,â Senator Bradley Howard said.
