The American Democracy Project at Georgia College requests your support for another semester of engaging, lively weekly discussions on current events and topics of local and/or global public interest in any arts, sciences, or humanities discipline or field.

The National Scholarships Office is looking for faculty and staff members with experience in international education who are interested in interviewing students and reviewing applications for the Fulbright Scholarship. This is a great, low commitment way to help our students compete on the national stage.

Panelists typically review three applications, offering feedback and participating in short interviews with students. This year's interviews will take place between on the weeks of September 6 and September 12. To accommodate our alumni applicants, we will be holding both in person and virtual interviews.

If you are interested, please reach out to Anna Whiteside (anna.whiteside@gcsu.edu)

If you are not aware of this newer service, our Faculty Advisory Council discovered a significant gap of students’ knowledge of basic Excel functions and use--across disciplines--and our faculty were taking much needed time away from lab/lecture just to cover the basics of Excel.
