“Georgia College is such a special place and community — the people here truly make it what it is. Thunder represents that spirit, helping students feel engaged, included, and proud to be part of the GCSU family. Being able to create that connection gives being a Bobcat an even deeper meaning.”

– Abigail Lee (‘26)

We’re so grateful for the students, past and present, who bring everyone’s favorite mascot to life for the GCSU community. 💚💙
