Our Voice

Seeing as this weekend is once again parent’s weekend, which annually coincides with Milledgeville’s Sweetwater Festival, we, at The Colonnade, figured there was no better time than now to stress that The Colonnade strives to inform not only our direct campus community, but also parents and alumni.

Seriously, what better way is there for students’ parents to know what is going on on our campus, than to log onto GCSUnade.com and read about it?

If your parents are on campus, encourage them to pick up a copy of The Colonnade. Seriously, a lot of parents really are interested in what is going on.

This past Saturday was Fall Fest, and as usual, The Colonnade had a table set up on front campus as part of the Bobcat Marketplace. It has become common practice that more parents pick up copies of the newspaper than prospective students. This may surprise you, but it no longer fazes us.

Parents really take an interest in the campus. They want to know what is going on, what is offered and what is important. These are all things we try to tackle every week.

To the parents that do regularly read The Colonnade, thank you. We are glad that you are taking an interest in your child’s campus. We encourage you to submit letters to the editor if you feel strongly about any issue.

While we are on the parent issue, The Colonnade would like to take a chance to remind our fellow students to occasionally thank their parents (something even we often forget to do).

Really, for the majority of the students on campus it is pretty unlikely that they would even be here without their parents.
Parents influence us in more ways than we realize.

Whether it is helping with financial situations, or just having someone to turn to in hard times, often parents are simply the best choice.

So, celebrate parents weekend by thanking them with a crisp, new copy of The Colonnade.
