As the 2021-2022 academic year comes to a rapid close, it seems the perfect time to reflect upon the challenges of the past year, especially those challenges uniquely faced by our International Students. 

For the second year in a row, due to ongoing concerns with respect to health and safety, the International Dinner – a popular highlight of both the Georgia College and Milledgeville social calendars – was not held. As a result, the event’s proceeds used to support the Georgia College International Education Center (IEC) and help fund scholarships for deserving international students were not realized.

That’s why I would like to invite you to make a gift today in support of GC’s International Education Center. The IEC promotes cross-cultural learning and understanding while stressing the benefits of inclusive excellence and diversity. It is a vibrant home to the academically gifted students from around the globe who increasingly make Georgia College their institution of choice and who enrich our campus as well as our regional community. Now, more than ever, we need your help to maintain the IEC’s critical and personalized support of our students.

Students from thirty-one different nations and five continents are currently represented in our student body! In the coming weeks, many of these young scholars will receive their degrees and transition into roles beyond academia and Milledgeville. They will do great things, and we are excited to celebrate the achievements of these international Bobcats and look forward to welcoming the next group who will join us in the fall. 

But, we need your help.

Make your gift today to ensure that students from across the globe may continue to enjoy the unique benefits of a Georgia College education and the warmth, tradition, and rich heritage of the Milledgeville community. Your support today will have a truly international impact resonating far beyond our beautiful campus.
