Sonny Perdue Biography
Dr. Sonny Perdue is Chancellor of the University System of Georgia (USG), a position he has held since April 2022. In April 2026, Perdue announced his retirement after more than four decades in public service and is scheduled to remain chancellor through Dec. 31, 2026, while the University System transitions to new leadership. The USG encompasses 25 public colleges and universities, with more than 382,000 students and 50,000 faculty and staff statewide.
Perdue previously served as the 31st U.S. Secretary of Agriculture from 2017 to 2021 and as governor of Georgia for two terms, from 2003 to 2011. During his tenure as agriculture secretary, he oversaw an agency with approximately 110,000 employees and played a central role in federal efforts to stabilize the nation's food supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Farmers to Families Food Box Program. As governor, he focused on state budgeting, economic development and education.
Before becoming governor, Perdue served in the Georgia Senate from 1991 to 2001, including as chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee and Senate President Pro Tem. His legislative career coincided with the development of Georgia's HOPE Scholarship program, and his work in higher education helped shape a continuing interest in connecting education with economic development.
A veterinarian and agribusiness owner, Perdue earned his doctor of veterinary medicine degree from the University of Georgia and served four years in the U.S. Air Force. He and his wife, Mary, have four children and 14 grandchildren and have served as foster parents to children awaiting adoption.
