From the President
I want to share with you an e-mail
that was sent Monday to all GSC
students. You may recall that one
was sent 'first semester. This was
suggested as an effective way to tell
our students more about us and
enhance their pride in being one of
our students.
"Did You Know .... ?
Did you know that you are enrolled
in the largest of the University
System's three State Colleges? This
spring the College reached a new
record for spring enrollment.
E
Did you know that as a result of the
Student
Community
College
Engagement Survey taken last
spring, Gainesville State College is
being recognized as one of four

FROM THE OCONEE cAMpus
Welcome to Alison Gaines who has
joined the Oconee staff as Coordinator
of Testing, Some of you may remember
Alison from her previous positions at the
college on the Gainesville Campus.
Modifications to an existing computer
testing lab were recently completed so
that a full range of testing can now be
accommodated in one location in
Oconee's new Testing Center in the
Administration Building. A big thanks
goes to Plant Operations, particularly
Steve Thellman and Dennis Brown, for
the new Testing Center.

Colloquium Series presents "You the Man" - 12
noon on Wed. March 8, 2006 on the Gainesville
Campus CE/PA Auditorium.
From 1976 to 2002, 11 % of all homicide victims
were killed by people they trusted most, their
partners. Yet, interpersonal violence begins with
much smaller actions. Opening a dialogue about
dating abuse, sexual assault and interpersonal
violence can save lives and create healthier,
stronger
relationships
for
families
and
communities. Yet public discussion of these
issues can be challenging and potentially volatile.
Avoiding shame and blame, "You the Man"
frames the issues of unhealthy relationships,
dating abuse and sexual assault through the eyes
of six characters who are figuring out how to

entertaining approach to engaging students in an
ongoing dialogue, "You the Man " seeks to
empower men and women to step out of the
bystander role, to not let friends or family suffer in
silence, to engage in critical thinking around tough
questions: What is informed consent? . How does
alcohol or drug use factor into consent issues?
What do you do if you recognize someone is in
trouble? How can you be supportive but not
endanger someone?
