A Message from the Provost

What a great month to be at Georgia Southern University! We saw our faculty leaders like Department of Chemistry’s Dr. Beulah Narendrapurapu receiving recognition for not only hard work but academic excellence, and I’ve never been prouder of our university.

Executive Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer of the University System of Georgia, Dr. Ashwani Monga, was also on our campus this month. He was incredibly impressed with our facilities, and I was excited to introduce him to our campus.

We have rescheduled the last Conversations with the Provost for April, and I hope to continue our discussions from those meetings and carry them to leadership. I also hope everyone will stop by the GS4 Student Scholarship Symposium at Armstrong and Statesboro campuses. Featuring research from our student body, events like these are what institutions of higher education are all about. The information for the final Spring Conversations with the Provost and the GS4 Student Scholarship Symposium are in the section below.

Our momentum is continuing, and we are all gearing towards the end of finals. I know I am looking forward to celebrating another commencement, and we have so much to be proud of.

FACULTY RESOURCES

Faculty Center Debuts New Writing Space

In April, the Faculty Center is debuting two new spaces dedicated to faculty members who want to work on projects away from their offices or busy hallways. The Faculty Center Writing Space is made up of two classrooms (one on Statesboro Campus at Cone Hall and one on Armstrong Campus at Faculty Center's Multi-Purpose Space in Solms 207) and will be available during normal business hours. Writing boot camps will also take place in the spaces, but they are otherwise walk-in friendly and can also be reserved. Whether faculty members are looking to meet about group projects, write or have a place away from interruptions, the Faculty Center Writing Space is available.

...INNOVATE.
