Georgia College has come a long way in 125 years. It first started out as a two-year women’s college in 1889 and has made it’s way to a prestegious public liberal arts four-year university. It has transformed in many ways throughout the years and has become more and more diverse as the years go on.

Georgia College is perhaps one of the most unique campuses in Georgia due to all of the history that it holds. It is the states’ first capitol, past home to the Governer, and many, many historical events that have happened right here on campus. In celebration of the colleges’ big landmark, Georgia College is dedicating a whole week to the history of GCSU. Some events include a scavenger hunt throughout campus, trivia night, a historical reenactment, social media day, a special bobcat madness event, and many more interactive activities. For a complete schedule and more information on Georgia College’s long history, visit http://www.gcsu.edu/125/. 

Hi Her Campus readers! I'm a Senior Mass Communications major, Netflix fanatic and everything caramel-based lover. You can always find me hanging out with my friends, watching Grey's Anatomy, eating Barberitos or doing all three at the same time! I'm Social Media/Public Relations chair for both Her Campus and CURE GC and love to support other organizations on campus that I have a passion for. I hope one day to go on a mission trip before my "big girl life" starts and then either do Public Relations for an amazing company close to my heart, like Her Campus or CURE, or open a clothing store of my own and donate a cut of the profits to different charitites each month. However for now, I'm going to take it day-by-day and enjoy what's left of my college career! XO, Katelyn.
