Student-centered | Diversity scholar | Seasoned administrator

Dr. Robert G. "Bobby" Bryant, a resident of Savannah and a lifetime Georgian, is familiar with the difficulties Georgia's coastline is experiencing, as well as how they affect our water supplies and natural resources while raising our electricity costs. Robert has always been interested in and worried about how pollutants affect communities, individuals, and the environment.


He attended public schools in Chatham County and graduated from Windsor Forest High School. Robert received recognition for his ground-breaking study on lead poisoning and its effects on the environment while still a student at the Savannah Science Fair. Robert's scholarly curiosity followed him as he graduated from Georgia Southern University with a bachelor's and master's degree and subsequently with a Ph.D. in adult education. At various prestigious Southern schools and universities, he developed his professional reputation and created his career in higher education.


Robert has consistently embraced giving back to his community. Robert has a genuine passion for servant leadership, having participated in the Boy Scouts and Columbian Squires as a youngster and held leadership positions in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP as an adult.


Robert now uses his curiosity and sense of service as fuel for his advocacy. He is prepared to fight Georgia Power's escalating electricity rates, advance renewable energy and its advantages for the state's economy, and defend our wildlife and water res
