Moonshots

Drawing parallels to President John F. Kennedy's iconic 1962 "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech, ǧ�Ĺ�AV President Shannon outlined how these moonshot goals will allow ǧ�Ĺ�AV to deliver at scale for the region, state and nation.

He sees these moonshots coming to life through ǧ�Ĺ�AV's conception of the community as a classroom, the university's distinctive value and the power of its five campuses to make an impact on the areas that surround them.

Seven of the moonshots are tied into ǧ�Ĺ�AV's seven strategic big bets and four moonshots tied to ǧ�Ĺ�AV's commitment to legacy-making.

Keep track of how we are developing towards the moonshot goals.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
