November 2021 | Georgia Southern University - Student Affairs E-Newsletter

The Division of Student Affairs cultivates an inclusive environment to advance students' holistic development through intentional learning and transformative engagement.

A Message from our VP

What a great Homecoming week of activities we had this past week! From Celebrate Together to Aux Cord Wars, Doo-Dah, community service, royalty, and the parade, it was great to be back together and celebrate all things GS! The Eagles mission to outer space was a great success!

November is often the month where we talk about gratitude and being thankful. I am thankful for many things. I encourage you and your coworkers to share the things you are thankful for and take time for yourself. I hope this version of the newsletter is one that shares great information and keeps our Division of Student Affairs community strong.

Little Convos is on Friday, November 5 at 10:30am on the Statesboro Campus with our Staff Council Reps Cat Bishop and Jodi Kennedy in Russell Union 2080. Professional Engagement Committee lunch in the Dining Commons at 12pm. See you there!

Go Eagles!
