About Us

The Information Technology team works collaboratively to support the technology needs of Georgia College from pillars of excellent customer service, consistent communication, and dependable information security practices. Our goal is to be more than merely a technology service provider but to be a partner and trusted advisor in meeting your institutional and academic goals.

The best way to get technical assistance is to submit an IT Help Desk ticket. No matter the need, someone at our IT Help Desk can connect you with the right person or resource. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help solve a technical issue, provide options for potential software/hardware needs, offer guidance on information technology safety practices, or brainstorm about new ideas and innovations.

Finally, please help us help you by providing your input. Let us know how we can better assist you by participating in one of our advisory committees or by contacting me directly at 478-445-1196 or CIO@gcsu.edu.
