This past Saturday GGC's Department of Mathematics and Statistics successfully hosted the 9th Annual Olifer Math Competition! Spots for 1st - 8th graders were sold out within a few weeks after the registration was opened. This year 166 students registered to compete, many of them returning students. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible!

For GGC students interested in the new IT Artificial Intelligence track, you can’t miss this info session on Thursday, Feb 26, at 2:00PM, in Cisco Auditorium. GGC IT faculty will present in this highly informative session.

A large contingent of GGC students and faculty recently attended the Annual Meeting
of the Georgia Chapter of the American Fisheries Society (GAAFS). All students received the Robert E. Reinert Travel Award from the GAAFS Chapter, which supported their travel to the meeting. Students gave a total of nine presentations (7 poster, 2 oral), attended several professional sessions, and participated in the student-mentor
luncheon during which they engaged with professionals in the field.

Lesley Ramirez (Biology major) won first place for her poster entitled "From Bayous to Backyards: The Red Swamp Crayfish Invasion in Metro Atlanta." Congratulations, Lesley!

GGC is hosting this year’s Georgia Academy of Sciences Conference. Volunteers are needed to assist in hosting the event!

GGC's Math Department was well represented at the Grayson High School Family STEM night event! Another successful outreach event for the Grizzlies :)
