To foster engagement and accessibility, President Jann L. Joseph will host walking meetings this spring, offering Georgia Gwinnett College faculty and staff an opportunity for direct dialogue. These sessions aim to encourage open communication, promote well-being and provide an alternative to traditional sit-down or virtual meetings. This initiative aligns with the college’s strategic commitment to promote open dialogue and communication and create spaces for individuals to share their experiences and perspectives.
