Your path forward.
Our brand-new Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program prepares you to become one of tomorrow's business leaders.
The EGSC Swainsboro campus is in much better shape since our last update. But the campus remains closed – for safety reasons, staff, faculty and students should avoid the campus until an “all clear” is issued and we will do that as soon as possible.
A tree removal company has been working each day to clear roads and paths, parking lots, and the like. The Fulford Center area and inside Quad were particularly hard-hit, but the clean-up is underway. With the clean-up not complete, it is but another reason why we need folks to stay away from campus at this time so that others can complete their work.
The students that were relocated to Georgia Southern - Armstrong campus are safe and sound. Several more have been able to go home and as of this afternoon, thirty-eight remain. We thank our sister campus for their assistance and hospitality.
Most of the Swainsboro campus has power and water. The dorms are being cleaned up and all freezers/refrigerators have been emptied, thanks to some terrific volunteers.
Internet service on campus is not yet ready, but the IT staff is working hard in the office right now to get connectivity up and functioning.
Today we offered the gym to serve as overnight housing for a few nights for Georgia Power emergency crews and Red Cross staff who are helping our community get back on its feet.
On a possible return date to campus, unfortunately things remain up in the air.
According to the PowerOutage.us site, roughly half of Emanuel County is still without power. This highlights that there is much recovery still to be done for impacted families, so we recognize returning to work would be challenging for many. We also do not yet know how K-12 districts will navigate the next few days and weeks.
We envision a ‘soft opening,’ of sorts, where perhaps faculty and staff that are able, return to the campus first to ensure it is ready for students and classes. We are considering many options, in other words, and will provide a further update on this point on Friday.
Let’s literally and figuratively turn the page on September and hope for brighter days in October. We remain incredibly positive.
Best,
David
The SAT scheduled for October 5 at EGSC-Swainsboro has been cancelled due to Hurricane Helene aftermath and power outages on campus.
Please see the following update from EGSC President Dr. David Schecter:
“Provost Whelan and I were on campus again today and spoke to several individuals about the timeline for power and water restoration in Emanuel County and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, things are still very much up in the air. For these reasons, and until we have more clarity, classes are canceled for the coming week at all locations (Swainsboro, Statesboro, Augusta, and online).
The Swainsboro campus will be closed all week. Faculty and staff are not expected to return. We know that Augusta University will also be closed this week. As of the timing of this message, Georgia Southern has not made a decision about the remainder of the week. Regardless of Georgia Southern's decision, EGSC-Statesboro faculty and staff will not be expected to return.
I will provide another update on Tuesday or Wednesday about potential reopening plans beyond this week.
As I walked through campus and neighborhoods today, I was deeply saddened by the unprecedented devastation I saw. I hope that you and your families are safe. Please let me know if you need anything.
With respect,
David”
Saturday Update: EGSC Swainsboro will remain closed through Tuesday, October 1. Statesboro and Augusta-based faculty and staff should continue to follow emergency management guidelines sent by Georgia Southern and Augusta University.
Swainsboro students in our dorms have been relocated to housing at Georgia Southern. A timeline for re-opening is unknown, as we await power and water restoration, along with so many in our community.
An 'all-clear' message will be sent when campus is ready to re-open. Our thanks to everyone that has assisted the campus, from faculty and staff to community leaders - we are grateful!

He had a vision for the future that supported new ideas and innovation. Denny was always willing to go the extra mile to see that EGSC was successful.
Denny was also the chairman of the Mill Creek Foundation for many years. The Mill Creek Foundation has partnered with EGSC on numerous initiatives, and Denny played a large part in establishing those partnerships.

EGSC Update:
After evaluating campus and area conditions, the Swainsboro campus will return to normal, in-person operations tomorrow, Friday, January 24, but with modified hours. Campus will be open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., to allow more flexibility and to give the roads a few more hours to dry out. These hours will hold for all Swainsboro classes and on-campus functions/activities.
Supervisors, please work with any staff or faculty on an individual basis if they are unable to report to work for any reason. Faculty and staff in Augusta and Statesboro will continue to follow any guidance given by Augusta University and Georgia Southern University.
For students and staff on campus, dining services will be open today from 1:30-3:30 p.m. for ‘To-Go’ options and will re-open at 10 a.m. on Friday.
EGSC Update:
Given that nearly 5 inches of snow has fallen in and around Emanuel County in the last 24 hours, freezing and below-freezing temperatures remain in the forecast, and road conditions remain unclear, the EGSC Swainsboro campus will continue with virtual operations and teaching through the close of business on Thursday, January 23. Only essential personnel should report to campus under direction of their supervisors.
No College-sponsored events in Swainsboro will take place through Thursday, January 23.
A decision on Friday operations will be made tomorrow, based on weather, road, power, and public safety conditions in the next 24 hours. We will send an update by early afternoon Thursday confirming Friday operations.
All faculty, staff, and students associated with the Georgia Southern University and Augusta University locations will continue to follow any weather-related directives from those entities.
Please stay off of the roads if at all possible, follow any guidelines provided by public safety and emergency management entities in the region, keep cell phones charged, and reach out to us if we can be of assistance.
Updated food service and food pantry operation hours for EGSC Swainsboro will be shared later today.
EGSC students, we want to see your snow pictures! ❄️ Post your pictures in the comments, message them to us, or email them to socialmedia@ega.edu.
Let it SNOW! ❄️ EGSC housing students and staff had a blast in the snow this afternoon on campus in Swainsboro.
#egsc #eastgeorgiastatecollege #yourfuturestartshere
EGSC Update from President Schecter:
The Swainsboro campus will move to all remote work except for essential employees for Tuesday, January 21 and Wednesday, January 22. This means all faculty should move their classes to an online format for these two days and all staff should be working regular hours and be available to their colleagues and students during those two days.
As always in emergency management situations, Statesboro and Augusta locations will follow guidance issued by those respective schools (Georgia Southern & Augusta University).
Students, if you are away from campus today, we urge you to stay put and not travel to campus until conditions improve late Wednesday. Those students already on campus, we encourage you to return home, if you are able. If you are enroute to campus, there will be access to the dorms and dining services through Tuesday and Wednesday, but no guests will be allowed in the dorms over those two days. Any student traveling should ensure they have a full tank of gas before hitting the road, as access to fuel could be jeopardized this week, as we saw with the September hurricane. All students should look for communications from their faculty on how their classes will be handled and attend virtually to keep up with the work assignments.
Please note that road conditions can be hazardous. Keep your electronics fully charged in case of power outages, and let’s show each other grace and care as we get through this latest storm together.
Thank you,
David Schecter

Hurricane cleanup continues on our Swainsboro campus, but we are excited to see students back on campus making their way to class. 📚 Welcome back, Bobcats!
#egsc #eastgeorgiastatecollege #yourfuturestartshere #HurricaneHelene
East Georgia State College would like to thank University System of Georgia Regent James Syfan and Syfan Logistics Inc. for dropping off a large donation of items for our students, faculty, and staff. These items are much needed by our EGSC Bobcats and we appreciate your generosity during this time. Thank you!!
Bobcat Faculty, Staff, and Students:
Our Swainsboro campus clean-up has progressed to a point where we can now make plans to re-open this coming week. We are still aware of the many challenges you all face, so we are taking a phased approach to our re-opening.
The following is a general timeline for our return to campus. Additional details will be provided in follow-up emails for specific groups, such as faculty, later today. Please reach out to your supervisor if you have any questions.
Monday, October 7th
Swainsboro: Staff and faculty, if they are able, will return to campus for a shortened workday, 10am to 3pm.
Statesboro and Augusta: Staff and faculty, who are able, will return to campus for a regular workday, 8am to 5pm. Classes resume in Statesboro and Augusta in line with the recent notifications from Georgia Southern University and Augusta University.
11am: “Campus Update and Q&A” in the Auditorium (Swainsboro) with Zoom option. This update will be for all employees on all campuses. We will provide an overview of where things stand, and several folks will be available to answer questions. The link to the meeting will be sent out Monday morning at the latest.
It is expected that staff and faculty unable to return to the campuses Monday will work remotely, if possible, and coordinate with their supervisors on enabling that remote work. Please check in with your supervisor if you are unable to return to campus.
Tuesday, October 8th
All locations: Regular workday, 8am to 5pm, for all faculty and staff. If you have extenuating circumstances, and cannot return to campus, please contact your supervisor.
Swainsboro: Housing students will return to the Bobcat Villas after 8am. Housing students have already been contacted with details of this return. No student should return to campus before Tuesday morning as the Bobcat Villas will remain closed for continued repairs and clean-up until that time. MESSAGE CONTINUED IN COMMENTS!!
Thank you to everyone who has helped our campus, students, faculty and staff after Hurricane Helene. We are so thankful there were no injuries on campus, and the students who were on campus were safely relocated to Georgia Southern University. Thank you, GSU!!
Our community and EGSC faculty and staff have been back on campus helping clean up and get the campus in better shape so we can welcome everyone back soon.
A big thank you to the Swainsboro Kiwanis Club who presented us with a check Saturday, the diesel truck who saved the day on powering up Dining Services’ generators, the IT team who worked on getting connectivity restored, Dave and Melvin and Coach Jeff who assisted with things, and faculty and staff who assisted on campus!
Our campus is currently still closed but we will be updating again soon on the progress being made.
Thank you to everyone who has helped our campus!
The EGSC Swainsboro campus is in much better shape since our last update. But the campus remains closed – for safety reasons, staff, faculty and students should avoid the campus until an “all clear” is issued and we will do that as soon as possible.
A tree removal company has been working each day to clear roads and paths, parking lots, and the like. The Fulford Center area and inside Quad were particularly hard-hit, but the clean-up is underway. With the clean-up not complete, it is but another reason why we need folks to stay away from campus at this time so that others can complete their work.
The students that were relocated to Georgia Southern - Armstrong campus are safe and sound. Several more have been able to go home and as of this afternoon, thirty-eight remain. We thank our sister campus for their assistance and hospitality.
Most of the Swainsboro campus has power and water. The dorms are being cleaned up and all freezers/refrigerators have been emptied, thanks to some terrific volunteers.
Internet service on campus is not yet ready, but the IT staff is working hard in the office right now to get connectivity up and functioning.
Today we offered the gym to serve as overnight housing for a few nights for Georgia Power emergency crews and Red Cross staff who are helping our community get back on its feet.
On a possible return date to campus, unfortunately things remain up in the air.
According to the PowerOutage.us site, roughly half of Emanuel County is still without power. This highlights that there is much recovery still to be done for impacted families, so we recognize returning to work would be challenging for many. We also do not yet know how K-12 districts will navigate the next few days and weeks.
We envision a ‘soft opening,’ of sorts, where perhaps faculty and staff that are able, return to the campus first to ensure it is ready for students and classes. We are considering many options, in other words, and will provide a further update on this point on Friday.
Let’s literally and figuratively turn the page on September and hope for brighter days in October. We remain incredibly positive.
Best,
David
The SAT scheduled for October 5 at EGSC-Swainsboro has been cancelled due to Hurricane Helene aftermath and power outages on campus.
Please see the following update from EGSC President Dr. David Schecter:
“Provost Whelan and I were on campus again today and spoke to several individuals about the timeline for power and water restoration in Emanuel County and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, things are still very much up in the air. For these reasons, and until we have more clarity, classes are canceled for the coming week at all locations (Swainsboro, Statesboro, Augusta, and online).
The Swainsboro campus will be closed all week. Faculty and staff are not expected to return. We know that Augusta University will also be closed this week. As of the timing of this message, Georgia Southern has not made a decision about the remainder of the week. Regardless of Georgia Southern's decision, EGSC-Statesboro faculty and staff will not be expected to return.
I will provide another update on Tuesday or Wednesday about potential reopening plans beyond this week.
As I walked through campus and neighborhoods today, I was deeply saddened by the unprecedented devastation I saw. I hope that you and your families are safe. Please let me know if you need anything.
With respect,
David”
Saturday Update: EGSC Swainsboro will remain closed through Tuesday, October 1. Statesboro and Augusta-based faculty and staff should continue to follow emergency management guidelines sent by Georgia Southern and Augusta University.
Swainsboro students in our dorms have been relocated to housing at Georgia Southern. A timeline for re-opening is unknown, as we await power and water restoration, along with so many in our community.
An 'all-clear' message will be sent when campus is ready to re-open. Our thanks to everyone that has assisted the campus, from faculty and staff to community leaders - we are grateful!
