Harshbarger spells out new semester
Welcome back to campus and a special welcome to the Georgia College & State University class of 2013.
For those of us who work at Georgia College, the opening of the fall semester is one of the most exciting times of the year, filled with great possibilities.
This fall will be especially exciting as representatives from across the university put the finishing touches on a plan for a new Wellness and Recreation Center at West Campus.
The Wellness Center – to include an indoor pool; gyms; an exercise center with weights, cardio and group fitness facilities; a jogging track; and a new student health center as well as other wellness facilities – is slated to go in part of the large parking lot area at the entrance to West Campus.
The Student Government Association will consider the adoption of a new fee to fund the 100,000-square foot facility and if that funding is approved, construction on the Wellness Center could begin in the first half of 2010. Keep an eye out for updates on the Wellness Center planning as it proceeds.
One aspect of a welcoming, respectful culture is the opportunity to raise concerns or needs and have them heard. Toward that end, I typically pull a rocking chair out in front of Parks Hall on Tuesday afternoons from 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. Stop by and visit when you have a chance (or come up to 206 Parks; you can find me there five days a week). I’d like to hear what’s on your mind.
It’s wonderful to see you back on campus. Have a great semester.
Cordially,
Dr. Bruce Harshbarger
Vice President for
Student Affairs
