East Georgia State College
As an access institution, the college serves a predominantly rural area of 24 counties in Georgia's coastal plain from its three campus locations.In September 1971, the citizens of Emanuel County approved a $2.1 million bond issue and provided 207 acres (84 ha) of land within the city limits of Swainsboro for a new college.Then-Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives and Emanuel County native George L. Smith II was instrumental in the college's establishment.In 2003, the Physical Education building was expanded with a new indoor gymnasium, fitness center, an art studio, and additional classrooms; it now home to the EGSC Bobcats.[10] In November 2009, the EGSC Foundation voted unanimously to appropriate 10 acres (4 ha) of land near the northern part of campus to construct the college's first on-campus residence hall.[17] The EGSC Vision Series is a community outreach initiative that brings programs of cultural and intellectual enrichment to East Georgia State College and the Swainsboro-Emanuel County area.Noteworthy speakers who have visited East Georgia State College include President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter, poet Maya Angelou, former Atlanta mayor and U.N.[18][19] The Vision Series also sponsors field trips to historical sites and locations of cultural interest, such as the Fox Theatre and the Georgia Aquarium.[22] The new campus opened just before the start of the 2011 fall semester and houses classroom space, a student computer lab, and a commons area in addition to its administrative functions.The city of Swainsboro is 15 miles (24 km) north of Exit 90 (U.S. Highway 1/Georgia State Route 4) on Interstate 16, almost halfway between Macon and Savannah.
