Middle Georgia State University (MGA) and the Museum of Aviation Foundation are launching a new partnership designed to strengthen educational outreach, community engagement, and innovation throughout the region.
Leaders from both organizations formally signed the partnership agreement on June 30 at MGA’s Center for Middle Georgia Studies, located on the first floor of the Macon Campus Library. Representing the Museum of Aviation Foundation was Dan Rhodes, president, and representing MGA was Dr. David Jenks, provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs.
The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to educational experiences, especially in STEM fields, while leveraging the resources, facilities, and expertise of both institutions.
"Partnering with the Museum of Aviation aligns perfectly with MGA’s mission to serve as a hub for innovation and educational opportunity,” Jenks said. “By working together to offer programs like the Robotics Educator Camp, we are not only strengthening STEM education for teachers and students but also building pathways to careers in high-demand fields in Warner Robins, Macon, and the Middle Georgia Region. We’re excited to support this shared vision for regional growth and lifelong learning."
