INSIDE GGC

Update: This article was updated Oct. 3, 2024, to announce the extension of the deadline to  Wednesday, Oct. 9.

It might be hard to believe, but Georgia Gwinnett College’s (GGC) fall commencement is right around the corner. The Commencement Outstanding Student committee is excited to request nominations for the December 2024 commencement student speaker.

Do you know a student who exemplifies the core values of GGC regarding scholarship, leadership, creativity and service, and who has a good story to tell? Please take a minute and consider your students, advisees or student workers. Is one of them going to graduate this fall? Would they inspire others?

The student speaker does not need to have the highest GPA but should be a student in good standing who will graduate this fall. If so, please complete the nomination form (PDF) and submit it to Dr. Kelli Shugart, assistant professor, nursing, by Friday, Oct. 4.

Additional stipulations follow:

• Student must participate in fall commencement.
• Student must not have more than six credit hours remaining.
• Student must apply by the deadline for the fall commencement.
