Community Involvement

The College integrates research, instruction, and service initiatives with the needs of local communities. Whether working with young students, immigrant families, or those in need of counseling, our faculty strive to improve the quality of life in Georgia and beyond. The college also contributes to Georgia’s economic growth by giving new companies a place to work and access to state-of-the-art equipment. Many of our students are involved in community service, connecting the classroom to real world experiences. Our programs bring vitality and richness to the local community through public performances, exhibitions, lectures, symposia, and special events.
