MAKING EXCELLENCE INCLUSIVE DAY

Making Excellence Inclusive Day is a day-long event held at the beginning of the fall semester that gives faculty and staff the opportunity to receive information that helps them to understand current issues of inclusion impacting our campus. The program features a plenary session with a guest speaker followed by breakout sessions on topics designed to help improve teaching strategies, foster better interpersonal relationships, and sustain a welcoming climate for diversity at Georgia College & State University.

MLK COMMEMORATION 

Every January, the Georgia College & State University Cultural Center and the Office of Inclusion & Belonging celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The theme for our 9th annual event was “Echoes of MLK: Activism, Disobedience, and Rights in the 21st Century”. The commemoration featured a breakfast ceremony on Friday, Jan. 17 in Magnolia Ballroom. The breakfast was highlighted by area Baldwin County K-12 students who presented their award-winning essays and artistic renderings to reflect this year's theme. 

Dinner with 12 Strangers

During the fall and spring semesters, there are two dinners that will include a delicious meal, fun icebreakers, personal introductions, and an engaging conversation about how we can make GCSU a more welcoming community for all.  Twelve selected individuals from all areas of campus will be invited to be one of the twelve strangers who meet for dinner.
