In celebration of Arbor Day and in collaboration with the Future Farmers of America (FFA) State Convention, Middle Georgia State University (MGA) hosted two special campus beautification events on the Macon Campus.

On April 24 and 25, MGA hosted approximately 250 FFA students as they engaged in volunteer work in MGA’s Macon Campus gardens. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the FFA students have generously contributed their time and effort to enhance MGA campuses.
