The East Georgia State College (EGSC) African American Male Initiative (AAMI) Program recently received a $10,000 grant from the Nordson Corporation Foundation.

East Georgia State College recently hosted its third-annual campus and community Honey Extraction Party. Approximately 50 people of all ages from the campus and the community attended the event to learn more about honeybees, how honey is extracted, and to lend a hand in the process.

For most of those present, the event was a new and very sweet tasting and sticky experience! All those attending the event had the opportunity to help uncap frames of honey, load and spin the extractor, filter the honey, and bottle a sample for themselves.

The Georgia House Representatives recently passed a resolution honoring Dr. Lee Cheek’s career of teaching and mentoring excellence. In nominating Cheek, Rep. Matthew Gambill (District 15) noted that “We strongly believe Dr. Cheek’s profound commitment to student mentoring and preparing political science students for careers in public service and the law demonstrate deserves recognition.”
