Vivian Cassaniti applied herself 110% at Georgia College & State University. She’ll graduate in December with a degree in both political science and philosophy.

There was a dark moment in Monica Lichtenwalner’s college years when things seemed bleak. In fall of her sophomore year, 2021, she got COVID-19 the first week of class and felt “very sick” for two weeks. A month and a half later, she still didn’t feel fully recovered and dropped half her classes, because she was falling behind.

Some professors at Georgia College & State University go national with their research. A few get global attention. Others? They reach for the stars. Like Georgia College’s astrophysicist Dr. Arash Bodaghee. He first suggested what eventually became—after improvements from his science team—one of the winning proposals for using NASA’s next-generation space telescope. That’s quite a mouthful. Let’s put it more simply: His idea emerged among the top contenders. On how to use the next...
Since 2014, the United Nations has set aside the 5th of December to educate people about the importance of healthy soil. In time for this year’s international World Soil Day celebration, students in Dr. Bruce Snyder’s soil ecology class finished their final project for the semester—children’s books about dirt and critters of this unseen underworld that help nourish the Earth’s soil, water, forests and air. For the UN, it’s a day to focus attention on the ground beneath our feet, while...
