Dr. Christopher R.L. Blake
President of Middle Georgia State College
Dr. Christopher R.L. Blake became the first permanent
president of Middle Georgia State College on January 1,
2014. He came to Middle Georgia from Mount Mercy University in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he was president and professor of education for seven years. As president, he developed a strategic plan that
obtained university status designation, launched graduate programs,
expanded off-site campuses and instituted a historic capital campaign.
His earlier professional experience includes serving as provost and
professor of education at Mount St. Mary’s University, Maryland,
where he developed new academic programs and oversaw strategic
planning.
Dr. Blake’s other career highlights include serving as associate dean of
the College of Graduate Education and Research and associate professor of secondary education at Towson University, Maryland; senior
lecturer in education at Brunel University, London; senior lecturer in
education at West London; senior lecturer in education at West London Institute, London; and teacher of religious studies at Henry Box
School, Oxford.
The 2013-2014 fiscal year was a good one for Rotary, putting
us in a strong position to continue Doing Good in the World.
Contributions to the Annual Fund set a new record of $116.6
million. Donors also gave a record $23.7 million to the Endowment Fund.
During calendar year 2014, with tremendous support of Rotarians and friends of Rotary, we received the $70 million 2-to-1
match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation by meeting our
obligation to commit $35 million from the PolioPlus Fund toward the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
Rotary’s new grant model finished its first year of global support for projects in our six areas of focus, with district and
global grant awards totaling $70.8 million.

Dublin-Laurens St. Patrick’s Festival. The luncheon will be Friday, March 20,
2015 at Oconee Fall Line Technical College. Doors will open and lunch will start

University of Oxford, Keble College, a Post-Graduate Certificate in
Education from Westminster College, Oxford, and a Ph.D. degree in
Education from the University of London, King’s College.
Dr. Blake has a long record of professional and community service.
Since arriving in Middle Georgia, he has joined several civic groups,
serves on the Macon Pops board of directors and is volunteering with a
mentor’s program. He is a member of Kappa Delta Pi International
Honors Society in Education.
Among his hobbies are reading history and historical fiction, following
global news and professional soccer, exercising daily, watching movies and traveling. Originally from Wimbledon, England, Dr. Blake’s
family includes two sons, attending colleges in Massachusetts and
Colorado, and a father and siblings living in England.
