Blake's Take: A Message for the Season

Dear MGA Community,

As we approach the end of the fall semester and prepare for winter break, my wife, Melody, and I wanted to take a moment to share our heartfelt greetings with each of you.

I want to express my gratitude for a wonderful semester and a strong start to our second decade as Middle Georgia State University. The energy, dedication, and accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff have made this a truly memorable time for our institution. I am excited about what 2026 will bring as we continue to build on this momentum.

To our Fall 2025 graduates who will walk across the stage at Commencement next week — congratulations! This is a momentous achievement, and we are incredibly proud of you. Your perseverance and commitment to your education exemplify the very best of Middle Georgia State University.

To our entire MGA community — faculty, staff, students, and families — Melody and I wish you a safe and happy holiday season filled with joy, rest, and cherished moments with loved ones.

Go Knights!

Chris
