Georgia College’s national reputation for innovative civic programming and scholarship was showcased at this year’s annual AASCU Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement National Conference held in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Jun 5-8.

Dr. Steve Elliott Gower gave a plenary presentation on the National American Democracy Project’s Global Challenges Initiative with which he has been involved from its inception over a decade ago to its most recent phase. Library faculty  Jamie Addy and Jeff Dowdy presented research results of embedding digital literacy content and tools from the Digital Polarization Initiative into GC’s first year critical thinking course. Rhetoric Professor Dr. Jan Hoffmann presented a workshop with the national Education Director of the New York Times showcasing GC’s 15 year old weekly Times Talk current event dialogue series as an innovative model for educating students as citizen leaders. Rhetoric senior Ruby Zimmerman spoke about her experience using Turbovote on campus to increase GC student voter turnout for the 2018 mid-term election.

Georgia College is one of 9 universities nationwide chosen to participate in AASCU’s Digital Polarization Initiative piloting digital literacy curriculum tools for students in order to combat social media misinformation. Georgia College was also one of only 124 universities nationwide (and only three in Georgia) to receive the 2019-2020 “Voter Friendly Campus” designation for our successful campus-wide efforts to increase student voter education and engagement.
