Georgia College strives to create a faculty-focused culture where faculty are supported, rewarded, and recognized in their efforts to seek out, apply for, and receive prestigious grants, awards, and fellowships. To aid faculty and staff in their efforts to locate award opportunities, professors Dana Gorzelany-Mostak and Steve Elliott-Gower created the GC Awards database. This database features comprehensive information on awards related to the disciplines practiced at Georgia College, with a specific focus on Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Faculty can search for awards through the GC Awards Database, and seek advice and assistance on the application process through the Center for Teaching and Learning website.
