President’s Message e remain focused on building character in our students and, to that end, we invited Dr. Kevin Ryan (Boston University) and several other ethicists from West Point to visit our campus for the purposes of evaluating our W efforts in this area and, too, suggesting ways by which we might improve our programs and assessment tools. As you may know, most public institutions across our country have abdicated their original mission of including the elevation Endowing the pursuit of MG Peter Boylan of character as an integral part of education. We are not among that group. In many ways, President this makes our task more difficult in that there is precious little thought devoted to this aspect of education that would promote discussion and, hence, serve to create new and better ways of character ... accomplishing this task. I considered that you might be interested in two of the initiatives we have created. • Participation in Ethics Bowl Competitions: We have created teams at the college Since its founding in 1879 as an educational level (soon to be duplicated in the prep school) to compete across the nation in ethics bowl institution ascribed to “foster the qualities of competitions. These are debate-like contests in which the participating teams are judged on good citizenship,” Georgia Military College their responses to posed ethics dilemmas. We recently competed at the University of Colorado as the only two year college in the U.S. with a team. We did place in the competition which has remained steadfast in its elevation made me very proud of our students and what we are doing in character education. of character as well as the • Recognizing Virtue in Students and Faculty: We continue to conduct ceremonies development of the intellect. throughout the academic year that recognize displays of good character in both the college and the prep school. It is heart-warming to watch the students who receive such recognition. There is none of “Aw Shucks” slouching across the stage; but rather we see students proudly striding forward to receive their merited recognition who are applauded by their peers. Extraordinary…. As we age, it seems that we come to recognize more acutely the role that our character has played in structuring our lives. Certainly, our intellects have influenced who it is that we have become and what we have accomplished. But it is our character that has, in most important ways, influenced how our intellects functioned. We have created an Ethics Endowment that aims at ensuring that our programs grow and become more influential in their impact on our students. I hope that you will consider helping us grow that endowment in its capability to continue and improve our character building initiatives. Peter J. Boylan Major General, USA (Ret.)

In other words, they have a goal and know how to get to that goal,” wrote Dr. Ryan in a follow-on report to GMC. “For most students, getting a of the ethics/character development program and good education is very hard work.

  • Official District Transcripts
    Official District Transcripts Important Transcript Request Information via www.GAfutures.org District students request transcripts for Board of Regents (in-state) universities and colleges and Technical College System of Georgia technical colleges through their My GAfutures account on GAfutures. Once a student makes this request, the counselor reviews and fulfills this request electronically. After the counselor fulfills the request, the transcript(s) is delivered to the postsecondary school(s) that the student has authorized/requested. The MyGAfutures account should not be used by students who need transcripts sent to NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). This feature is currently unavailable in GAfutures. Seniors use this process. In addition, district students interested in a Dual Enrollment/Move On When Ready opportunity also use this process. Very Important: Final transcripts for Seniors (early to mid-June) will be sent to in-state schools through the MyGAfutures transcript(s) request process. Therefore, a Senior must request the final transcript for in-state schools using his/her MyGAfutures account to request that the final transcript is “fulfilled” by his/her school counselor. Seniors are to only request that a paper copy of the official transcript be processed when the purpose of the transcript is to meet admissions requirements for out-of-state college or university, to complete documentation for a scholarship(s), and/or to provide to a potential employer or the military. Any transcript questions/issues should be addressed by the student with the school counselor. HOPE Transcripts HOPE transcripts are available for all district students within 30 days of the close of each semester after transcript history is posted to district transcripts.

    Georgiagmc Military College PRESIDENTS: PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE Dr. Walter Stafford Dudley COL E. T. Holmes 1879-1882 1923-1928 Professor Oscar M. Cone COL G. S. Roach 1882-1883 1928-1934 In the midst of Georgia Military College’s Milledgeville campus stands the Old Capitol Building, symbolic of the school’s history of reinvention and enduring Dr. William Francis Cook COL Joseph H. Jenkins spirit. In 1879, a handful of students from middle Georgia enrolled in the newly 1883-1885 1934-1950 established preparatory school, attending classes in the Old Capitol Building that now stood empty after lawmakers moved to the new capital in Atlanta. Back then, LtGen Daniel Harvey Hill, CSA COL Ren A. Thorne most of GMC’s students came with the intention of bettering their futures via 1886-1889 1950-1968 agricultural studies or the military. MAJ Colton Lynes COL William H. Rodimon Times have certainly changed, but on these historic grounds we continue to 1889-1892 1968-1971 instill the values of duty, honor and country, concurrent with an education that sharpens minds and readies students to pursue their future goals. COL John Charles Woodward COL David L. Black The GMC of today – a fully modernized central campus, with 23 programs 1892-1896 1971-1973 of study, online global course options, four degree types and more than 12,000 students – is nearly unrecognizable from its humble beginnings. But true to form, COL William E. Reynolds MAJ GEN Eugene A. Salet the accomplishments and contributions of our graduates continue to serve as a 1896-1912 1973-1985 testament to the ideology of our founders: “To educate young men and women… in an environment which fosters good citizenship.” COL O.
