GSW's Kappa Sigma chapter hosted their annual “Shave2Save” event on October 24. Each brother raised at least $75 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a minimum of $150 needed to keep their hair. All proceeds were donated to Candice Hancock, an Americus local who is battling Stage 4 breast cancer.

GSW launches scholarship program for new students in Southwest Georgia affected by Hurricane Michael
GSW has announced a new scholarship program, “Southwestern Promise,” which guarantees scholarships of either $1,000 or $2,000 to beginning freshmen who live in a 56-county region of Southwest Georgia.
GSW hopes this new program will lessen the financial burden of college for many high school students in the region who may have been impacted by Hurricane Michael’s aftermath.
“Hurricane Michael devastated much of our state, with Southwest Georgia taking the brunt of the impact,” said GSW President Neal Weaver. “In restructuring GSW’s scholarship granting process, we wanted to develop a program that both prioritizes the students and families of Southwest Georgia and supports academic excellence. We believe the ‘Southwestern Promise’ scholarship program does just that.”
