Hello Knights!
The winter holiday can be a difficult time for many students. MGA Student Affairs wants to make sure students are aware of some of the resources available to you during the holiday break.
Food Assistance
For students staying on the Cochran Campus during the winter break, enjoy a hot meal in the community!
Local churches in the Cochran community are generously offering one free hot meal to students who will remain on campus during the holidays. Meals can be picked up at the BCM in Cochran, GA (next to Wendy's) from 5 p.m.-7 p.m.
Meal dates: December 12, 16, 17, 19, 23, 27, 30, and January 2.
