Middle Georgia CEO Highlights MGA's Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

In a recent article, Middle Georgia CEO highlighted the many ways MGA is joining other University System of Georgia (USG) institutions in supporting those affected by Hurricane Helene.

"Hosting students from a sister university, serving as a staging area for vehicles used in relief efforts, and offering a place for community members to charge their tech devices are among the ways Middle Georgia State University (MGA) campuses are supporting the state’s Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.

"'I am proud of the examples set by students, faculty, and staff representing a variety of departments at Middle Georgia State University to step up in a time of need,' said Christopher Blake, Ph.D., MGA’s president. 'They are wonderful representations of how we embrace our core values as a University and serve our communities and sister institutions.'"

MGA welcomed to the Macon Campus members of the Georgia National Guard, 1177th Transportation Company and 265th Chemical Battalion, as they set up a staging area in one of the campus's west parking lots as part of the state's Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Sgt. 1st Class Mary Howell said their role involved transporting FEMA and GEMA supply trailers to various locations with water, ready-to-eat meals, and other supplies to hard-hit locations in Georgia.
