Edith Acevedo Cordero

Business Management

"During my initial campus tour, the guide emphasized how welcoming and friendly everyone is, and she shared how she formed lifelong friendships during her time here. That sense of connection was something I truly wanted—to build meaningful relationships that would extend well beyond college—and I am grateful to have found that here."

Hanae Colquitt

Psychology

"GSW has always been part of my life to some extent or another. My mother transferred from Japan and met my father at GSW, and I also grew up attending various campus events, participating in the GSW community band in middle school, and later taking dual enrollment courses here. When it came time to complete my undergraduate studies, choosing GSW was the natural option because it has always felt like home to me."

Tyeshia Walker

Computer Science

"I chose GSW because I felt like everyone here truly cared about my success and the success of all students here deeply."

Kennedy Daniels

Marketing

"Both of my parents being GSW alumni and my brother also being a student here was what led me to consider attending at first. I liked the fact that the campus was close to my hometown, and that it was small, meaning it would be easier to find my way around."

Cassidy Ware

Biology (Pre-Vet)

"I chose GSW because here, I am not just a number to my professors—I am a name and a person they truly care about."

Colby Hernandez

Communication and Emerging Media

"While I’ve lived all over southwest Georgia, this area has always felt like home. When it came to it, home is what made me stay. GSW allowed me to get an excellent college education while I stayed at home to save some money."
