Letters to the Editor: A note from President Leland
A new year at GCSU begins
On behalf of the faculty and staff of Georgia College & State University, welcome.
For our new students, we are delighted to have you as part of the Georgia College family. For our returning students, welcome back to familiar campus sights and the friendships you have already cultivated here.
The faculty and staff at Georgia College are exceptional for the many ways in which they work to make GCSU a special place for you to live and learn. Although we have not escaped the hard financial realities of the current economic recession, these individuals have redoubled their efforts to provide you with an exemplary learning environment.
We look forward to having you participate as part of the solution as we seek innovative ways to continue our commitment to educational excellence despite the economic challenges we face.
Over the summer, we continued to work on completion of new classroom and teaching space. The Health Sciences Building and the Parks Nursing Building are now open for classes after significant renovation.
The Campus Theatre and Bookstore project is on track and should be completed early next year. And we’ve completed a plan for a magnificent Wellness and Recreation Center on West Campus. If students decide to support this facility, construction can begin during this academic year.
As you begin the fall semester, I hope that you take pride in being a part of this remarkable university. In case you have not heard the news yet, Georgia College continues to be listed in prominent national publications as one of the very best public universities in the South and nation.
Everyone contributes to this recognition, including our students through their engagement in the classroom and participation in campus life. So wear your school colors, study hard, take part in extracurricular activities and seek help and advice when you need it. This may be one of the best years of your life.
GCSU President
Dorothy Leland
