We are thrilled to announce that Georgia Highlands College Department of Student Success & Dean of Students led by Dr. Michelle Lockett has been approved for the prestigious Embark Georgia Mini-Grant for the Spring 2025 academic semester! Our institution has been awarded $48,220.00 to fund a groundbreaking initiative to support students facing homelessness, and food or housing insecurities.

This grant will empower GHC to enhance resources, programs, and services that address housing insecurity among our students across all campuses, ensuring a stronger support system for those in need. This achievement reflects our commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed to the development of this proposal, specifically Assistant Vice President Dr. Julius Fleschner, Assistant Vice President Stephanie Loveless, Vice President Jamie Petty, and Chief Academic Officer/ Provost Dr. Sarah Coakley. Your dedication and hard work have made this funding a reality. Together, we are building a brighter future for our students and our community! Stay tuned for more updates as we begin implementing this impactful initiative.

Go Chargers!
