East Georgia State College (EGSC) brought the Vision Series back to 校园 last week on Thursday, 9月 22. University System of Georgia 总理 Sonny Perdue was the speaker for the 事件. EGSC faculty, staff, students, and the 社区 were all invited to attend the 事件 in the Luck Flanders Gambrell Building Auditorium on the 校园 of EGSC in Swainsboro.
Before speaking at the Vision Series 事件, 总理Perdue extracted his own bottle of EGSC honey during the Honey Extraction Party. EGSC maintains an apiary on the Swainsboro 校园. Each year the EGSC Beekeeping Club hosts the extraction party to harvest the honey and give people the chance to see how the extraction process takes place. 总理 Perdue worked with Beekeeping Club Advisor Dr. Paul Cerpovicz to prepare the hive frames to be spun in the extractor. He then spun the honey from the frames in the extractor and was able to fill his own bottle with EGSC honey at the end of the process.
After the Honey Extraction Party, 总理Perdue spoke at the Vision Series 事件 about his life growing up in Georgia and what led him to go to veterinary school and later run for office. He also spoke about his background in education and what led him to become the chancellor of the University System of Georgia.
总理Perdue also spoke about his vision for the University System and what part EGSC has in that vision. After his speech, 总理Perdue took questions from students, EGSC staff, and the 社区.
“总理Perdue’s speech was the perfect way to bring back the Vision Series at East Georgia State College. On behalf of the college and the 社区 we would like to thank 总理Perdue for taking the time to join us at EGSC for this important 事件. We look forward to having him back on 校园 to see some of the great things happening in our 社区,” said Dr. David Schecter, president of EGSC.
The Vision Series at EGSC is an initiative that brings programs of intellectual and cultural enrichment to the College and its broader constituency. Since its inception, the Vision Series has hosted outstanding personalities, authors, newsmakers, musical performances, dance companies, and theatrical productions. Through sponsored field trips, students and 社区 members have opportunities to attend exhibitions and dramatic productions, not only in Georgia, but in neighboring states, as well.
