June 13, 2014 –Dr. Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith, president of Fort Valley State University and Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell IV, president of Georgia Military College (GMC) recently signed an articulation agreement that makes it easier for GMC students to attend Fort Valley State. The articulation agreement signing took place at June 10 at 11:30 a.m. in the legislative chamber of the Old Capitol Building on GMC’s campus.
The new memo of understanding will allow Georgia Military College students to apply their associate degree credit hours toward FVSU baccalaureate degrees. GMC students will be able to transfer degree credits without losing credit hours, providing a more seamless transition to FVSU.
“I’m delighted that we are building this partnership with Georgia Military College, which, like FVSU, has a splendid reputation for making the dreams of young men and women come true,” Dr. Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith, president of FVSU, said about the new agreement.
