Jann L. Joseph, Ph.D.
President Georgia Gwinnett College
Place. Passion. Purpose.
A renewed energy is resonating across Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC). This year, we celebrated a significant milestone: the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) reaffirmed our accreditation for the next 10 years. This achievement opens the door for GGC to expand our curriculum, deepening our commitment to experiential learning and critical thinking. Our consistent growth in student enrollment, retention and graduation rates underscores the strength and value of our programs. Additionally, we proudly introduced a new tagline that captures the essence of what GGC means to our students.
Higher education is a transformative journey of self-discovery, exploration and new experiences. As leaders of this institution, we provide the foundation and resources that are crucial to our students’ success. We listen, adapt and evolve to meet their needs. It is through this attentive and responsive approach that our students have shaped our new tagline: “Find your place. Find your passion. Find your purpose.”
K. Carlton Buchanan, Jr., M.D.
Chair
Georgia Gwinnett College Foundation Board of Trustees
This message is one that resonates deeply with all of us. Reflecting on our own college experiences, we remember the uncertainty of the future, the excitement of new relationships, and the journey of discovering who we were meant to be. That spirit – the GGC spirit – is what drives us to guide our students toward their next steps.
As you explore this report, you will encounter stories that highlight our institution’s successes, each contributing to the remarkable achievements of our students. These accomplishments are a testament to the collective efforts of our community. Together we are shaping a brighter future for GGC and its students.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to Georgia Gwinnett College.
Go Grizzlies!

Georgia Gwinnett has contributed more than $6.4 billion to the economy of Gwinnett County and the Atlanta metropolitan area since the college has been included in an annual University System of Georgia economic impact study.
The most recent report also indicated that the college is responsible for the creation of 3,769 jobs, of which 763 are on campus.
Georgia Gwinnett College earns reaccreditation
Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) earned its 10-year reaffirmation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
SACSCOC accreditation reaffirmation includes rigorous internal and external peer review processes. A critical component of reaffirmation is a college’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
GGC’s QEP outlines its commitment to institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on a collegewide initiative that will improve student success. Specifically, GGC’s QEP will focus on experiential learning, which will provide students with the workforce-ready, critical thinking skills they need to identify, analyze and solve real-world issues.
GGC introduces rare fermentation science program
Georgia Gwinnett has launched the first bachelorlevel fermentation science program in Georgia, one of fewer than 20 in the nation.
Offered through GGC’s Bachelor of Science in chemistry program, the new concentration will
provide students with a comprehensive curriculum encompassing the science, technology and business aspects of the rapidly expanding field of fermentation across various industries, including food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, biofuels and more.
GGC has been accredited since 2009.
Georgia Gwinnett College is now a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.
New SIM lab provides Wall Street-like experience
GGC’s School of Business opened a new simulation (SIM) lab, which provides students with a realistic, Wall Street-like learning experience.
The space features a real-time, LED stock ticker that wraps around the entire room, self-contained workstations with on-demand monitors and wireless collaboration areas. The SIM lab facilitates student engagement and high-impact instructional practices, including synchronized classes for on-site and remote students.
More than 20 companies, local businesses and individuals saw the vision and potential of the SIM lab and donated gifts to the GGC Foundation to support its creation, along with funding provided from the college budget.

Convocation Center project nearly complete
Construction of Georgia Gwinnett’s new Convocation Center is nearing completion, with its ribbon-cutting scheduled for the near future.
The Convocation Center enables GGC to celebrate the return of commencement to campus on Dec. 14 and to host the GGC Four Pillars Scholarship Gala
on Feb. 21, 2025. Starting in fall 2025, the college will premiere intercollegiate men’s and women’s basketball in the new building.
The construction project also includes a central energy plant containing the college’s first chiller system. The entire chiller project will cover the span of 30 years.
The project will also increase efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and reduce the college’s future electricity consumption by as much as 60%. GGC’s School of Education graduates taking the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators (GACE) exam to earn their teaching license surpassed the Georgia state average score by 16.4 points.

Department of State grant to expand study abroad programs
A group of GGC students led by Dr. Neville Forlemu, professor of chemistry, pause for a photo in front of the Wat Rong Suea Ten, the Temple of the Dancing Tiger, located in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
Georgia Gwinnett College is one of only 34 U.S. colleges and universities to be awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of State’s Increase and Diversify Education Abroad for U.S. Students (IDEAS) Program, which aims to develop and expand study abroad programs worldwide.
The $35,000 grant will help expand GGC’s learning abroad program to other continents and get more minority students involved in the program, especially African American males who historically don’t take advantage of study abroad programs.
GGC’s bachelor’s degree in nursing program was re-accredited for 10 years by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The School of Education was recognized as an outstanding Educational Preparation Provider by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation with the 2023 Frank Murray Leadership Recognition for Continuous Improvement.
Georgia Gwinnett College receives Board of Regents Momentum Award
GGC received the 2024 University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents Momentum Award for Excellence in Advising and Student Success, which honors institutional advising that creates trajectory toward student success and degree completion.
The college has increased first-year student retention within the USG by 8%. GGC’s learning community initiatives, such as Hispanic Achievers Committed to Excellence in Results (HACER), have served more than 700 students since fall 2020. Future plans include expansion for HACER and other learning communities.
The University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents recently presented the Regents Momentum Award for Excellence in Advising and Student Success to Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC). Shown are Dr. Ashwani Monga, USG executive vice chancellor for Academic Affairs and chief academic officer; Dr. George Low, GGC senior vice president for Academic and Student Affairs/provost; Dr. Karen Jackson, GGC assistant professor of education and associate dean for advising programs; Dr. Justin Jernigan, GGC dean of Student Success; Nancy Ciudad-Simmons, GGC senior student success advisor, and Dr. Sonny Perdue, USG chancellor.
Internship program increases student interest in nonprofit careers
GGC’s Nonprofit Internship Program, a collaboration between the GGC Foundation and multiple donors, including the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia, successfully increased student interest in nonprofit careers during its first year.
Designed to build a pipeline of graduates prepared to serve their communities in the nonprofit sector, the program offers GGC juniors and seniors with semesterlong, paid internships in Gwinnett County and the greater Atlanta area.
The program launched in spring 2023 with four employers and four students. One year later, it had grown to 22 employers and 33 students.
Attending a Nonprofit Internship Program luncheon were nonprofit intern Jennah Baksh, ’24, management information systems, Dr. Jann L. Joseph, GGC president, and Randy Redner, consultant with Wellspring Nonprofit Resource, Inc.
A 10th national title for men’s tennis, 9th for women’s tennis
The Georgia Gwinnett College men’s tennis team left little doubt about who is the best NAIA tennis team and who is among the nation’s all-time best programs after capturing its 10th straight national title this season. Even more astounding is that this achievement was made during the Grizzlies’ first 10 years of post-season eligibility.
A 10-peat may never be duplicated again, but the women’s team may have something to say about that.
After winning its 8th consecutive national NAIA title this season, and its 9th total, the women’s team could possibly repeat the men’s achievement in a couple of years.
Meanwhile, the men’s team still holds the longest winning streak in collegiate sports at 173, which spanned seven undefeated seasons since April 2015.
The men’s tennis team celebrates its 10th consecutive national title, achieved during the Grizzlies’ first 10 years of postseason eligibility.
New scholarships support exercise science students and wellness
In conjunction with the construction of the new GGC Convocation Center and its improved facilities for wellness and recreation, gifts from generous donors, Georgia Banking Company and Clyde L. and Sandra J. Strickland, have established scholarships for GGC students with a focus on wellness. These scholarships will be awarded to students majoring in exercise science or who demonstrate involvement and interest in wellness and recreation. The scholarship may be awarded for up to $2,000 per semester, and is eligible for renewal for up to four years. Scholarship funds will support tuition, fees, program equipment, meal plans and housing.
Bartow Morgan Jr., center, CEO of Georgia Banking Company (GBC), presented a $400,000 check to the GGC Foundation to establish scholarships at the college. Also shown are Jennifer Hendrickson, GGC’s associate vice president for Advancement and president of the GGC Foundation; Jennifer Bridwell, GBC’s Gwinnett market president; Dr. Jann L. Joseph, GGC’s president; and Wanda Weeger, GBC’s vice president, community banking development.
College’s FAFSA Center helps hundreds of students
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is critical in determining how much federal aid eligibility students will have for their education. The U.S. Department of Education released a streamlined FAFSA form in 2023 with the goal of simplifying the process, but delays in releasing it continued to create challenges and further setbacks for students.
To assist students in completing their FAFSA forms in time for the 2024-25 school year, Georgia Gwinnett
opened a FAFSA Completion Center on campus this past spring. The center helped 650 students.
The center provided a valuable community resource. While most students coming to the center are attending GGC, others were from other schools.
GGC’s fall 2023 nursing graduates all passed the National Council Licensure Exam on the first try. The program’s four-year, first-try pass rate is 93.71%, the second-highest in Georgia for bachelor programs in nursing.
New and renewed grants support students, initiatives
The Georgia Gwinnett College Foundation received several new grants aimed at initiatives and scholarships benefitting students.
A $2 million grant from The Goizueta Foundation will fund the following two GGC initiatives.
• Hispanic Achievers Committed to Excellence in Results (HACER) enhances student academic and professional success in pre-college bridge experiences, student intern leadership development, HACER Learning Community activities and HACER Scholarships.
• The P-12 Teacher Workforce Program will expand the college’s partnership with Gwinnett County Public Schools to establish a pipeline to attract, retain and support education majors.
The Scott Hudgens Family Foundation made a generous grant to the GGC Student Emergency Fund, which helps students through sudden hardships that may result in food or housing insecurity.
AT&T provided a $25,000 grant to support digital literacy programming and tutoring for students.
The GGC Foundation and Kennesaw State University partnered on a grant from the Intel Corporation designed to create a diverse workforce in the semiconductor chip industry.
Beyond Benign provided a grant to encourage green chemistry programs.
The PGA Tour Superstore provided a grant of $5,000 to GGC’s tennis program.
The Clipper Petroleum Foundation supported GGC’s cybersecurity student competition team.
GGCF also received renewed support from the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation, Inc. for nursing scholarships; the Benedict Silverman Foundation for implementing the Reading GO program, and the Beacon Foundation Charitable Trust for student emergency grants.
Kaiser Permanente renewed its support for scholarships and coaching in the School of Health Sciences, and The Primerica Foundation continues to support student grants and peer supplemental tutoring.
Enterprise Holdings Foundation renewed their support for career services programming, and the Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta, Georgia, renewed its annual scholarships.
Grant supports study abroad in Germany
A group of nine GGC students, a professor and a staff member from GGC’s School of Business spent 12 days immersed in German cultural, business and leadership activities, thanks to a $25,000 grant to the Georgia Gwinnett College Foundation from The Halle Foundation.
The Halle Foundation previously made another grant to fund a faculty visit to Germany and design of the program, which provided students with an understanding of sustainability, from German business innovations to the nation’s public transportation system. The trip also exposed the students to German culture and history.
The Upsilon Xi chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (AKA), an international service organization, became the first sorority established at GGC. Founded in 1908, AKA is the first intercollegiate, historically African American sorority.
The GGC study abroad group is shown outside of the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, the German Academic Exchange Service in Berlin.
