On Tuesday, September 3, MGA formally launched the Center for Middle Georgia Studies with a short ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by faculty, staff, and special guests.
The center is an intellectual and creative enterprise designed to take on some of the region’s most difficult challenges. MGA is using a $1.2 million grant from the Peyton Anderson Foundation to help fund the center, which aims to leverage the combined power of community assets and University faculty and staff expertise to address issues related to poverty, workforce demands, and healthcare, among other concerns. The center is also benefiting from a gift from the estate of Carolyn Wynn Smalley.
