MGA Time Capsule Call for Contributions

To recognize Middle Georgia State University’s first year of our second decade, MGA is preparing to bury the University’s first time capsules on April 10, 2026, and we’re inviting students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners to help shape what future generations will discover. This is a rare chance to capture the spirit, creativity, and daily life of MGA during Academic Year 25-26 — and we want your voice included. We welcome small, meaningful items that reflect who we are, what we value, and what life is like today. Consider contributions that highlight MGA culture, Middle Georgia life, or broader trends.
