Georgia Gwinnett College

Georgia Gwinnett College Find your place, find your passion, find your purpose at Georgia Gwinnett College, the first four-year, public college created in the U.S. in the 21st century.

A few years ago, Georgia Gwinnett College was home to just over 100 students. Let’s just say – things have changed. What was once 260 acres of rolling terrain has become the perfect metropolitan college campus of about 12,000 students. What’s so perfect about it? GGC adapts to how you do things – your learning style, your work schedule and your life. From the ground up, GGC was designed to help yo

u succeed. That's game changing.

"I love working with people. I want to make a difference in people’s lives in health care, specifically oncology."

Shaped by her father's experience with pancreatic cancer, GGC alum Shelby Welgoss, '24, set her sights on a future in health care. She found her passion for health science and patient navigation at GGC, and is now pursuing a master's in public health while working toward launching a pancreatic cancer awareness foundation in her father's honor.

Join us in recognizing National Cancer Survivors Day and read Shelby's full story in the last edition of GGC Magazine – link in the comments.
