Faculty & Staff

GSW was the only college I toured that gave me a "community" vibe that focuses on student's achievements. Other schools were focused on what you brought to the table as a student, while GSW focused on what they could give you as an educational institution. I was interested in research and loved that GSW offered independent research rather than assisting a faculty member solely. I just felt like GSW truly wanted me to succeed.
