AMERICUS — Almost 400 incoming freshmen began classes at Georgia Southwestern State University during its fall semester, the university announced in a news release.
First-year students were officially welcomed to the university community at a Freshman Convocation. Each student was given a silver coin by GSW President Neal Weaver to signify the beginning of their journey at Georgia Southwestern. Upon graduation, they’ll receive a gold coin in its place, giving the silver coin to someone who made a difference for them during their time at GSW.
GSW officials say they are looking forward to watching these students take their first year by storm.
