Dear Nighthawks Transcript

Dear Nighthawks,

We know it's a challenging time for all of us. It's hard to be forced out of our normal routines and have our plans changed for things we were really looking forward to.

It can be tough to feel personally connected or while you're learning, teaching, or even working from home.

We get it because we are all in this...together. And we're going to get through it together.

What's special about being a Nighthawk is our caring community, and nothing can change that.

You are a part of the Nighthawk family, and family sticks together through thick and thin. UNG will continue to support our current, future, and former Nighthawks. Through it all, we're still going to laugh, cry, work and play, learn and grow... together. Together.

We all understand that challenging times still lie ahead of us. But we're still going to do what Nighthawks do best. We're going to lead. Achieve. Overcome. And Succeed. And we're going to soar through this together.

Together.

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!
