Please read below an important message from Chancellor Perdue to university presidents concerning the use of TikTok, Telegram and WeChat:

Dear Presidents,

Following Governor Kemp’s recent directive prohibiting the use of TikTok on Georgia-owned systems and devices, I would like to share more about how the University System of Georgia plans to move forward. We share the Governor’s concerns and understand similar concerns have caused several states to implement mandates blocking TikTok and its use from public devices and public networks.

Georgia College & State University continues to closely monitor Hurricane Ian. Local impacts are expected to include one to three inches of rainfall and the likelihood of tropical storm force winds, gusting between 30 and 40 miles per hour.

The university will maintain normal business operations and classes will continue as scheduled for the remainder of the week. Indoor events and activities on Friday and Saturday can continue as scheduled at the discretion of the event’s organizer.

Our first QEP open forum/information session will be held virtually on Friday morning, 10/01, at 10:00 am. These forums are open to all faculty and staff and participation is highly encouraged. There will be four total forums this semester so please plan to attend at least one!
