Pivoting during a pandemic: How Georgia Southern’s Business Innovation Group is providing resources to small businesses during the COVID-19 crisis
The past two months haven’t exactly been business as usual for Georgia Southern University alumnus and small business owner Garrett Clark.

New look coming for University homepage on May 1
Look for a new design on the university’s home page on Friday, May 1. The new design is much more vibrant and more focused on engaging prospective students, our primary target audience. In coordination with this project, we will also launch a redesigned Future Students page and redesigned homepages for both the undergraduate and graduate admissions websites.
Faculty, students and staff will notice a few things have moved around. After an analysis of page use over the past year, the links for “Current Students,” “Faculty & Staff,” and “Parents & Families” are being moved to the top of the page next to the search box where they are quick and easy to locate. The “audience” buttons have been reduced and streamlined to keep the focus on our students and external audiences. The old “Quick Links” menu has been eliminated in favor of a more prominent search bar.
For feedback or to report any problems, please email marketing@GeorgiaSouthern.edu.
