BOWLING GREEN, KY - Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin has appointed George Nichols III of Potomac, Maryland, to the Board of Regents at Western Kentucky University.

Nichols, a 1983 WKU graduate, will be sworn in during the board's July 28 meeting.

Paul Patton and also as executive director of the Kentucky Health Policy Board during the Patton Administration.

"George and his wife, Cynthia, have been long-time friends and supporters of the University," WKU President Timothy C. Caboni said. "He has remained closely connected to Kentucky and actively involved with WKU throughout his career. His business expertise and professional experience will be incredibly valuable to our board and to me as we embark on a new strategic planning process."
