Georgia Southern
Transcript: Georgia Southern By Carter Eldridge Mission: The purpose of the Georgia Southern University Staff Council is to participate in the process of University governance by acting in an advisory capacity to the President and Chief Human Resources Officer about issues that affect and concern staff as well as the general welfare of the University. The Council strives to be a voice in decision making, promote the development and recognition of staff and supports the mission of Georgia Southern University. Early Years Established in 1906, Georgia Southern was founded as an agricultural school. It started with four faculty members and 15 students. In 1924, the name was changed to Georgia Normal School as a training center for teachers. Finally in 1959, after several renames and changes, the college was named Georgia Southern College. The institution would make the biggest change in 1990 when it became Georgia Southern University. Campus Student Life The football team has won six NCAA Division I-AA national championships (1985, 1986, 1989, 1990, 1999 and 2000). The university's baseball team has participated in the College World Series twice (1973 and 1990). The university offers intramural teams for all varsity level sports, equestrian events, fencing, and judo.
