President’s Blog: Owning Student Success
As students prepare for midterm exams and projects, how are we each “owning” our responsibility to support their success? As they look ahead toward the next semester, how are we each “owning” our duty to help them make wise choices? With more than 80% of our graduates remaining in Middle Georgia after graduation, the investment of time and energy we make in our students results in success not only for each of them, but for all of us in this region. Thank you for keeping that in mind and our students’ success at heart as we reach the midpoint of our Fall semester!
Growing Enrollment With Purpose
In the coming years we must rigorously apply this principle of intentionality in knowing what purpose we are addressing with every student we recruit, retain, and graduate here at Middle Georgia State.

Today is the first step on a journey for many of our students, reminding me of that Chinese proverb that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.

MGA Students Dress to Impress
The Professional Closet is an MGA service, maintained by the Career Services office, that gives students a place to buy gently used professional clothing, shoes, and accessories for job interviews.

President’s Blog: Spring Break – Engaging Learning Beyond the Classroom
The picture of Spring Break perpetuated by pop culture is one of partying on the beach. Yet, what we are increasingly witnessing at Middle Georgia State University each year is something quite different. While many of us take a deserved moment to recharge and relax—on or off the beach—during the break from classes, many of our students and faculty also take the opportunity to engage beyond the classroom.
This year, our students and faculty interacted with communities and colleagues both at home and abroad. Residence Life once again offered Alternative Spring Break, this year taking a group of students to Texas, where they volunteered with the largest food bank in the nation, the Houston Food Bank.
