They were no longerjust people filling a chair in the classroom, they were now myfriends, people I can talk to, trust and depend on.”

~Lindsey William, MGS 3400

“Overall, I enjoyed the Ropes Course and wish that otherstudents could have the same opportunity to participate in it. Ithelped me to build new relationships with my classmates andlearn to trust people more. Also, I was able to climb trees andlearned how to walk on ropes. I can tell now my friends andfamily that I do other stuff besides study while attendingGeorgia State.”
