Winter Weather

GSW is closely monitoring the potential winter weather system that may pass through Georgia early next week. Given the considerable amount of uncertainty with this weather system, we will continue to work closely with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) and the National Weather Service as we consider any decisions related to modified University operations. Should there be any changes to our regular schedule, we will notify you by Monday afternoon via email, social media and GSW’s website.
