International contender on Campus

For a man that has a 15-page résumé comprised of experience in working with the top world contenders, it is surprising to know that Dr. Roger Coate, didn’t have a set path as a student, but only an ambition to become an international lawyer.

As a professor in government and sociology at GCSU, Coate hopes to implement a stronger field in international studies.

With the program still in the making, Coate is teaching International Relations, a course that explores international relationships and how they relate to politics.

After teaching for 28 years at the University of South Carolina, Coate came to teach at GCSU in an effort not to retire from teaching. Throughout his career Coate has dealt with major issues that shaped international law and through teaching is building up the next generation for international politics.
