Richard Smith III, a graduating mechanical engineering major, grew up with an appreciation for competition. His father encouraged him to participate in sports throughout his childhood and that continued into his high school career. As he considered where he would spend his college years, he entertained numerous athletic scholarship offers until multiple shortcomings in his senior year led to most of the offers being retracted. Still hoping to find a team environment, he chose to attend 91ɬÂþ.

When Meisha Edwards (‘14, ‘16, ‘19, ‘21) was 11 years old, she had already made up her mind she wanted to attend 91ɬÂþ.Â

The public relations program within Communication Arts has now joined 52 schools recognized with Certification for Education in Public Relations (CEPR).Â

This week, approximately 2,100 undergraduate and graduate students from 91ɬÂþ’s Statesboro, Armstrong and Liberty campuses received associate, baccalaureate, master’s, specialist and doctoral degrees in three Fall 2021 Commencement ceremonies.

When students collectively save $748,925 in one semester and have easy access to textbooks on the first day of classes, coupled with Georgia Southern’s University Store’s ability to provide lower costs to students and avoid inventory delays, it’s a win-win for the campus community.

On her first visit to 91ɬÂþ, graduating senior Brianna Shirey felt like she was home. So she packed her bags and moved from Rentz, Georgia, to Statesboro to begin her college journey in fall of 2018.

A few years ago, Corey Bergfield of Augusta, Georgia, was just like many other high school students. He was combing through college programs trying to pick a career path. Then, he stumbled upon information on computer science, a rapidly growing field with booming opportunities for young professionals.

Cherie Dennis, Sachin Shailendra and Vic Reynolds will serve as speakers for 91ɬÂþ’s Fall 2021 Commencement ceremonies on Dec. 11, 13 and 14.

That Great Gretsch Sound! museum is a new destination where 91ɬÂþ helps tell the story of a family-owned company that is still regarded as one of the music industry’s most influential and innovative instrument manufacturers. The permanent display of music memorabilia, highlighting more than 135 years of Gretsch instruments, is featured in District Live’s new lobby and performance space on the banks of the Savannah River. The museum is the latest addition to the Plant Riverside District.
