In a recent story, WGXA featured MGA's new Center for Middle Georgia Studies, an intellectual and creative center designed to address some of the region's complex challenges, including poverty, workforce demands, and healthcare. The University received a $1.2 million grant from the Peyton Anderson Foundation to develop the new center.
"By leveraging community assets and the expertise of MGA faculty and staff, the center will seek innovative solutions to improve the well-being of citizens and the broader community.
Expressing gratitude for the foundation's support, Dr. Christopher Blake, President of MGA, said, 'We are ecstatic and extremely grateful to the Peyton Anderson Foundation for this major support of our vision to create a regional hub that coordinates efforts of multiple partners to improve the wellbeing of citizens and the community at large. The center's services will be unique and unlike anything currently available in the region.'"
