CSU Again Rated Military Friendly University

Thanks are due Mark Ridley, our military affairs representative, and his team for orchestrating this very important designation for the second year in a row. Our relationship with Fort Benning is so very important, and this national recognition emphasizes our ability to turn intent into action. Tonight, also for the second year in a row, our Cougar club football team goes head to head with the Fort Benning team at Doughboy Stadium. It should be another great event!

Several events, people contributed to Alumni Weekend success

Thanks to to so many for a spectacular alumni weekend, our first truly comprehensive weekend devoted to alumni reunions, celebrations and visits. Jennifer Joyner and the rest of the alumni team led the celebrations while Lyn Riggsby-Gonzalez and a wonderful group from Student Affairs directed a great "Day of Service" for the community. From a reception at The Loft to a celebratory luncheon outside the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, campus tours, a great student jazz concert at RiverCenter directed by Dr. Alex Pershounin and a magnificent dance and dinner at the CSU Theatre and Woodruff Park. It was great to meet old and new friends and a wonderful reflection on our university.
