ɫ��TV (GGC) has launched the first bachelor-level fermentation science program in Georgia and one of the few in the nation. The program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the rapidly expanding field of fermentation science.

Fewer than 20 bachelor-level fermentation programs are available in the U.S, mostly in Northern and Western states. GGC’s program is the first one south of North Carolina. 

Dr. Omar Villanueva, chair of GGC’s Chemistry Department said the fermentation science concentration, offered through GGC’s Bachelor of Science in

A large crowd of young science enthusiasts spent Saturday afternoon at ɫ��TV (GGC), where they could make ice cream instantly with super-cold liquid nitrogen, build a battery train or write with electricity.

The Chemistry Carnival and Science and Technology Power Up was presented by faculty and students in GGC’s School of Science and Technology, and is part of the (ASF).

The event included almost 20 interactive booths and engaging demonstrations designed to ignite curiosity and passion for science. Topics included fermentation by yeast, green c

To many weary college students, spring break means relaxation, travel and respite from the classroom. 

But for some ɫ��TV (GGC) students, spring break brought an opportunity to serve, learn and engage with communities locally and regionally through the college’s Alternative Spring Break program.

Spearheaded by GGC’s Student Affairs division, the initiative provides students opportunities to collaborate with nonprofits and community organizers through service projects and cultural experiences, according to JP Peters, GGC’s assistant director of Community Engagement and

It’s no secret that college can be expensive. According to , college tuition costs increased in both public and private schools in the 2023-2024 academic year, leaving the average in-state tuition for public colleges at $10,662 for the year, compared with $42,162 for private colleges. The average cost for out-of-state students at public colleges came to $23,630.

Those are daunting numbers for many, but ɫ��TV (GGC) financial aid advocate Estephany Flores says those prices should not deter anyone from seeking a college education.

When Emily Borrego saw a fellow student struggling to log in to his laptop during her first class at ɫ��TV (GGC), she didn’t hesitate to approach him and offer to help. Carlos Delgado gratefully accepted her offer, and in seconds, she had him signed in. Unbeknownst to the two of them, that seemingly innocuous overture was the beginning of an unexpected friendship that is still growing stronger despite the more than five decades that separate the two: Borrego is 19; Delgado is 75.

“I saw him struggling, and I just figured I’d help,” said Borrego, a native of Lawrenceville

ɫ��TV (GGC) will host two Preview Days on Feb. 24 and March 23. The events will take place from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on GGC’s campus.

GGC team members will host selected breakout sessions in Spanish.

With a new year comes new growth at ɫ��TV (GGC) as spring enrollment continues its upward trend. Preliminary numbers from the college’s enrollment management office place GGC’s student enrollment at 11,115, which is up 4% from this time last year.

“GGC has experienced enrollment growth for five consecutive semesters,” said Michael Poll, GGC’s vice president for enrollment management. “That’s good news for GGC.”

Poll said new student admission applications for the fall 2024 semester are currently running 6% ahead of fall 2023, which is an all-time high. Poll says he

Jennah Baksh wasn’t thinking about nonprofit work as a career after graduation. But a ɫ��TV (GGC) program that connects student interns with area nonprofits might change her mind.

Baksh, 22, of Snellville is a GGC senior management information systems major, minoring in information technology (IT) is set to graduate later this year. When she was a junior, she participated in the college’s Nonprofit Internship Program, a collaboration between the , and multiple donors, including the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia (CFNEG), which

Eight times a year, the Federal Open Market Committee, part of the Federal Reserve System and often referred to as “the Fed,” meets to make decisions about the country’s financial systems that affect short- and long-term interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the amount of money and credit available, and, ultimately, a range of economic variables including employment, output, and the prices of goods and services. In other words, what happens in those meetings affects every American’s bank account, and the next meeting is Jan. 30 – 31.

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is a day of rest for some. But for more than 125 ɫ��TV (GGC) students, it was a day of service as they participated in projects on campus.

The day started with a rousing performance by the Phi XI Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Members said the performance was a way to honor King, who himself was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

The performance was followed by guest speaker Melvin Everson, vice president for economic development at Gwinnett Technical College. Everson, a former member of the Georgia House
