GPS Student Spotlight
Meet Michael Baker, a student pursuing his Bachelor of Business Administration degree who is expected to graduate in 2020.
QUESTION: Why did you choose Averett’s Graduate & Professional Studies Program?
ANSWER: “I chose Averett’s GPS Program because my wife completed her degree with the university back in 2011, and I was able to see first-hand the flexibility with which an individual who works full-time could still pursue his or her educational goals.”

Common Room Usage During Passport and IMPACT Camps

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Your kindness and welcoming spirit makes a huge difference to our visitors.
Thank You!
“The Facilities Department would like to extend a very gracious “Thank You” to everyone that participated in the Service Day on Thursday, May 17. We had more than 20 staff and faculty members show up to help paint in Fugate. The goal was to paint the walls where the old cork boards were located. The group painted more than 70 rooms which was a tremendous help in our effort to upgrade Fugate. I hope we can perform more Service Days this summer and have the success like we did last week.”
Thank you,
Elliot Baynes, director of Facilities
Reminder from Facilities about Work Order Requests
Please continue to utilize the work order request system for any maintenance needs during the summer break. We monitor that on a daily basis and will address issues as quickly as possible. Emails and phone calls are not the preferred method unless it is an urgent issue.
