News Tom Cousins and UGA's music-business program
Posted by Scott Freeman on Mon, Jan 28, 2008 at 8:11 PM
In this week's cover story on the new music-business program at the University of Georgia, an Atlanta businessman who had pledged a $500,000 donation to the program was mentioned but not identified because the deal had yet to be finalized.
Bruce Burch, co-director of the program, said today that the mystery man is none other than Tom Cousins, founder and chairman of the board of Cousins Properties. Cousins, a UGA grad, built many of the city's most prominent structures, including the CNN Center, 191 Peachtree and the East Lake Golf Club.
"Having Tom Cousins and his foundation on board, it gives our program even more credibility in the state with the business community," says Burch. "It's going to help us expand our program and help us move forward on some of the plans we've made."
