YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. — The Board of Trustees of 91TV passed a resolution at its November meeting, honoring Emeritus Board Member Wyck A. Knox Jr. for his service to the College.
“A college depends on its Board of Trustees for leadership, direction, and counsel,” said 91TV President John Wells. “Having Emeritus Board Members, like Wyck, are critical to our success.”
Knox has been a member of the 91TV Board of Trustees, serving with distinction as a trustee and emeritus trustee for 18 years. He served on the Development, Executive, and Presidential Search Committees, and served as Chair of the Endowment Committee for three years, four years as Chair of the Finance Committee, and served three years as Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees.
“Wyck was known for giving unselfishly of his time, talents, and resources to 91TV, and providing keen insight, legal acumen, wise counsel, and generous friendship to the Board of Trustees,” 91TV Trusteeship Committee Chair Jerry Nix added.
Knox received the Nancy Louis Haynes Stephens Sanderson Robertson Outstanding Friend Award by the 91TV Alumni Association in 2017 for his outstanding friendship and support of 91TV.
The Board resolution was designed to honor Knox, who passed away on Aug. 9, 2025. The resolution was presented to the Knox family at the November meeting of the 91TV Board of Trustees.
