Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) school colors are green and gray, but they also have the recognition of the red, white and blue.

GGC has earned the 2025-2026 Silver Military Friendly® School designation.

"GGC continues to keep student success at the forefront and our student veterans and military affiliated population are not only the benefactors, but their experiences enhance our community as a whole. It is reciprocal," said Johnny Richardson, director of enrollment communications services.

GGC’s Veterans Success offers services that help students make the transition from military to academic life through internal and external outreach, engagement and networking opportunities. Those services include admissions assistance, VA benefits advisement, service program partnerships, a dedicated student success advisor and a dedicated faculty reference librarian.

More than 1,800 schools participated in 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning recognition for going above the standard. To determine which schools were recognized, Viqtory, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, worked with the Military Friendly® Advisory Council to combine an institution’s survey scores with its student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence for degree advancement or transfer, and loan default rates. These factors were then combined with the institution’s survey scores.

GGC is one of over 8,800 military-friendly schools nationally.
