A warm welcome to everyone of my fellow students, including recent and old! As we begin our Fall 2024 semester at USG, allow me to take a moment to welcome you all to this wonderful new journey. Whether you are new to the campus or an experienced student, our goal for this academic year is to everyone improve, learn, and have a great time.

• Prepare yourself to stay ahead!
  Prioritize your tasks by going over the syllabus. Adding deadlines, notes, and reminders to your digital calendar is a terrific idea. Using colors your physical planner is a great idea if you prefer to work with your hands frequently.

• Continue to get energy and hydrate
  Carrying a water bottle and your preferred snack will help you stay energized all day. Hey, don’t worry if you forgot! Get essentials like snacks and toiletries at the Center for Scholarships, located in Building III. To assist students in need, USG provides a range of on- and off-campus resources and initiatives. To discover more about these products, which include the USG Grover Essentials, simply click the link that is supplied above.

• Find the Perfect Study Area — Want a calm area to concentrate?
  There are great hours in the library where you can focus on your study.
  
  The green space is a great place to relax, read a book, or get to know your peers if you’d rather take in some fresh air (between building I and II)
  
  Breakrooms, these cozy spots are great for group work or some quiet time, but remember, most require a reservation. My personal favorite is in building IV—the view is unbeatable (shhh, our little secret!)
  

IT Lab: open from 8 am to 10 pm, this lab is perfect for effective studying. (if your device needs a quick charge, IT does available charges upon request at the IT desk)

Let’s make this semester amazing by supporting one another and making the most of all that USG has to offer. Here is to a successful and fulfilling academic year! 😀
