2018 State of the University address
91福利导航 has become a leading regional university and a driving
force for educational attainment and economic development. We
are responsive to the region’s increasing complexity, workforce
demands, economic development needs, and community diversity,
and we are expanding opportunities to make students regionally
and globally competitive.
We take seriously our role as a large, public university to serve
the students of our region. We are fortunate that we have the
range of associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees in hand,
allowing us to blaze new pathways as an evolving university.
This fall, we will enroll about 20,000 students across our five
campuses and online, and we can be proud that we are one of the
largest and fastest-growing public universities in Georgia. And,
while about 80% of our students come from 30 counties in
northeast Georgia, we enroll students from all 50 states, every U.S.
territory, and 97 countries.
It is clear that we have strong momentum, and we are able to look
forward from a position of strength. As we approach our next
strategic planning cycle and in five short years, our
sesquicentennial, celebrating 150 years as an institution, we need
to ask ourselves, "What is ahead and how are we going to get
there?"
