In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we know many students are facing tough challenges. Georgia Military College is here for you, and we are doing everything we can to ensure no one is left behind. We have plans to provide extensions and support for those affected with the goal of completing the term. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we’ll be flexible and supportive as we move forward. As Quarter 1 ends, we remain committed to your success, so please check here regularly for updates as we monitor recovery efforts. For those who cannot make it to campus, GMC will make every effort to work with you individually. Additionally, we are closely monitoring the development and potential impact of Hurricane Milton. At this time, the storm’s path is being tracked carefully, and there is no immediate cause for alarm in our area. However, we want to ensure that you are prepared and informed in case the situation changes. Your safety is our top priority, and we will communicate any necessary actions promptly on our website, through email, text, and social media as necessary. Learn More

GMC-Augusta’s Sign Language Club meets with The Deaf Association

GMC-Augusta’s Sign Language Club meets with The Deaf Association

Dr. Mary Ward and the members of Georgia Military College of Augusta’s Sign Language Club were invited and attended The Deaf Association of Augusta’s get-together on Saturday, March 2nd, 2019, at the food court of the Augusta Mall.  Dr. Mary Ward, Mia Clarke, Michelle Fuertes Amestica, and Professor O’Leary were able to meet. Sign Language Club members interacted for almost three-hours with more than 30 members of The Deaf Association.

During the hours they spent together, those in the Sign Language Club were able to “put their skills to action” by introducing themselves and having “the best conversation possible” as quoted by one member. “This real-world application is such a wonderful experience” shared Michelle, “And nerve-wracking…it makes me want to learn and practice more!” Mia shared, “Sometimes it is easier to read the signs and finger-spelling, and other times…I just get lost! Time to keep practicing!”

The GMC Sign Language Club has been invited back to their next meeting in April and are excited for the opportunity.  Thank you to The Deaf Association for your partnership and incredible work!
