Sophia Aparicio-Malacara

Information Technology

"I chose my major because I grew up with computers. My dad especially was a huge influence because he was always the one in our community that would be called to fix anything technology related, and I knew I wanted to be that person as well."

Leigh Bailey

Psychology

"GSW has a unique culture. The faculty embrace the culture and that spills over into the student body. There is a sense of pride among all associated with the college that is contagious."

Alejandro “Alex” Espitia

Integrated Studies

"I decided to attend GSW because of all the AMAZING opportunities that were offered to me before I was even a student here. It's a decision I will never regret."

Frederick Wright

Political Science

"I chose to attend GSW because of its strong sense of community and the opportunities it offers for personal and academic growth. The smaller campus size allows for more personalized interactions with professors and peers, which has helped me feel more connected. GSW also offers a range of leadership opportunities, such as my involvement in the Student Engagement Team (SET), that have allowed me to develop as a student leader and make an impact on campus."

Shiann Smith

Information Technology

"In high school, I worked for the technology team at Schley County fixing laptops, printers and projectors. I had lots of fun fixing technical issues and have chosen to make a career out of it."

Deana Berger

General Studies

"I chose GSW because I was looking for an affordable online college that offered a human resources degree. I got an interdisciplinary understanding of different fields so I can apply them to my current career."
