In November 2015, Cedric Norris Jr. was a freshman weeks into his leading role in “The Ballad of Emmett Till,” when he got a call from home.
His granddad had been killed two days before Thanksgiving.
Americans waste 40 percent of the food we produce, yet one in seven Americans are food insecure. The passion and dedication of two students led to a new way to fight hunger in Milledgeville while cutting down waste from the university’s dining hall.

Join us for the next Wednesday Wellness Workshop | Proper Squat. That's right! We're offering it again! Today, Sept. 26 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Wellness and Recreation Center. In the workshop, participants will learn the proper mechanics of squatting to keep workouts safe and effective.
Squatting is a very popular exercise performed by novice and expert gym-goers alike. It's a dynamic, compound movement involving multiple muscle groups. Some refer to it as the "king of all exercises." There are even many squat variations one can incorporate into their fitness routine to break up the monotony of doing the same movement each time.
However, just like with any exercise, squatting is only effective if you're using proper technique. When correct form is absent, squatting can be very dangerous and increase risks for injuries. So come on out. At the very least, we can assess your technique to make sure you're getting all the gains you think you're getting!
No lifting, squatting, or fitness experience of any kind needed! Whether you have ever performed a squat exercise or not, you will benefit from this workshop.
You may reserve your spot online (it's quick and easy.) Or, just show up!
See you on the Fitness Floor!!
*open to currently enrolled students and monthly paying members.

The Center for Teaching and Learning offers a confidential, formative, mid-term student feedback service available to all Georgia College instructors. To schedule an assessment, complete the attached form and send it to ctl@gcsu.edu.
How the process works: At the invitation of an instructor, a faculty facilitator trained in the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID) technique guides students through a 30-minute, group consensus-building process in which they address the following four questions:
1) What do you like about any aspect of this course that helps you learn the material?
2) What suggestions do you have for improving any aspect of this course that would help you learn more?
3) How could those suggestions be implemented?
4) What can students do to improve this course?
The facilitator collates and types up the data then meets with the instructor a week or so later to go over the student feedback. The facilitator will not report data on the student feedback to anybody other than the instructor.
