Hello, East Georgia State College would like to update their Wikipedia information. Please incorporate the new information below. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thanks so much in advance!

History

After the last sentence in the last paragraph, add: In Fall 2016, the Bachelor of Arts in Fire and Emergency Services Administration was added; in Fall 2017, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN Bridge Program) admitted its first students.^[1]

Campus

First paragraph, last sentence, replace ”In 2017, the lower level of the Academic Building was expanded, adding additional biology laboratories and an 84-seat lecture hall” with: In Fall 2017, the college opened an expansion of the main George W. Walker Academic Building and state funding has been appropriated for an expansion of the Jean L. Morgan Students Activities Center during 2018.^[2]

Luck Flanders Gambrell’s gift of nearly 200 acres of land in 1971 is now the site of East Georgia State College. Throughout her lifetime, Gambrell continued to give generously to East Georgia, providing funding for the Library’s Heritage Center and multiple scholarships, including the Gambrell needs-based scholarships award. On March 18, 2017, the Gambrell family donated an additional 135.99 acres to the college for future expansion.^[3]^[4]

At the end of the Campus section add the following paragraph: In December 2014, the James A. Morgan family donated the Morgan House to East Georgia State College. This historic former home now serves as a place for college and community to come together, for meetings, special events, activities and monthly First Fridays which include fellowship, music, refreshments and an art exhibit.^[5]

Add the an Academics section and African American Male Initiative, CHOICE Program, and Correll Scholars Program subsections:

Academics

African American Male Initiative

East Georgia State College started an African American Male Initiative (AAMI) in 2013 to increase graduation, recruitment, and retention rates for African American men.^[6]^[7]

CHOICE Program

The college began its CHOICE program in Fall 2015. CHOICE (Creating Higher Education Opportunities to Increase College Experiences) is a two-year non-degree college inclusion program at East Georgia State College designed to provide students, who may traditionally be excluded from post-secondary education, the opportunity to participate in college classes and develop work-readiness employment skills. A residential living option is also available to CHOICE students who wish to live in Bobcat Villas on the Swainsboro campus.^[8]^[9]

Correll Scholars Program

The Correll Scholars Program was established in 2014 and began Fall semester 2015 to recognize and prepare exceptionally promising students as future community leaders. Twenty $5,000 scholarships are awarded each fall to incoming freshmen attending the Swainsboro campus and are renewable annually, for a maximum of four years. Pete and Ada Lee Correll are the benefactors for both the Correll Scholars Program and the Sudie A. Fulford Community Learning Center.^[10]^[11]^[12]

Declined All of these sources come from a single entity: the college itself. You can see how this might present problems, having the college alone tell us about the notable things going on at the college. If these changes are indeed notable, then other sources will have mentioned them. Information on scholarships for example, and lands donated to the colleges, surely can be found in areas outside of the college. The government, which works closely with colleges for financial assistance, is sure to have references mentioning the information on scholarships. Local or national media may also have mentioned newsworthy items such as the donations of parcels of land. In order to strengthen the article, please provide these third party references which mention the additions you wish to have made. Regards, Spintendo ᔦᔭ 03:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for additional material[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Can you please add the updates I have listed? Thanks so much!

• On Saturday, April 21, 2018, East Georgia State College joined the Emanuel County Farmers and Artisans Market in Swainsboro to celebrate Earth Day. Since its beginnings in 1970, April 22 has marked the celebration of Earth Day as a way to increase environmental awareness and environmental protection in the community. During this event, EGSC faculty and staff showcased their initiatives to become a more sustainable and environmentally-minded campus. EGSC’s Tree Campus designation was also on display. This certification is awarded by the Arbor Day Foundation to universities and colleges for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation. EGSC received its initial certification in 2017 and will reapply for renewal in 2018. http://emanuelcountylive.com/2018/05/egsc-celebrates-earth-day/

• The East Georgia State College Foundation was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from the Mill Creek Foundation to establish a plant growing facility which will include raised beds and a hoop house on the EGSC-Swainsboro campus. http://emanuelcountylive.com/2018/05/egsc-receives-grant-to-establish-plant-growing-facilities/

• East Georgia State College recently began a new initiative for the 2017-2018 academic year to honor select high school juniors throughout their service area. The L.E.A.D. the Way Program is designed to recognize juniors through the following criteria: Leadership (leadership qualities within and/or outside of school), Engagement (engagement within the school body and/or community), Achievement (scholastic achievements so far) and Dedication (dedication to their education and future). http://emanuelcountylive.com/2018/05/138899/

• East Georgia State College held their Inaugural White Coat Ceremony on Thursday, January 18, 2018 in the Luck F. Gambrell Building Auditorium on the Swainsboro Campus. The White Coat Ceremony recognized the first two classes of EGSC’s RN to BSN Bridge Program, which allows working nurses to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree entirely online at an affordable, local institution. http://emanuelcountylive.com/2018/01/egsc-nursing-program-holds-inaugural-white-coat-ceremony/

• East Georgia State College was recently recognized as a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. The Tree Campus USA program honors colleges and universities and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation. http://emanuelcountylive.com/2018/03/egsc-earns-tree-campus-usa-recognition-2/

• A generous gift to EGSC from the Motorola Corporation has created a new scholarship program for the Fire and Emergency Services Administration degree.  A scholarship of $1000 maximum per person will be given each semester to one or more students in the FESA program at EGSC.
