Sandra Dunagan Deal, '63, '66, dedicated her life to empowering the young people of our state.

As an educator, and as First Lady of Georgia, she advocated for future generations of Georgians by focusing on literacy as the key to a successful life and personal fulfillment.

Each step of the way, Mrs. Deal brought her alma mater with her. Georgia College & State University is proud to carry on her legacy of service through the Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy. With her example, we will make the lives of Georgia students better.
