In times of crisis in Georgia, TCSG becomes a critical partner in response. TCSG personnel from around the state often step up to fill critical roles. TCSG colleges open their doors to provide space for crisis staging. TCSG campuses serve as critical hubs for communication links, providing security, food and water for first responders, fuel and transport of essential supplies and real-time coordination with responding agencies.

Mission:

Whether it be industry demands, gaps in workforce, the safety and security of our communities, or the 350,000 students we serve, the Technical College System of Georgia responds to the needs of Georgians.

Critical Needs:

  1. Funds to provide computers and other technologies across TCSG for our students who do not currently own or have access to these items.
  2. Funds for books, fees and/or tuition for students who have been impacted by this crisis. These funds are critically important to keeping our students enrolled and on track to gainful employment.
  3. Funds to offset the costs for colleges that may have incurred significant expenses in response to the pandemic. Many colleges have stepped up to assist their communities.

Making a Difference:

The TCSG Emergency Response Fund will impact the lives of many Georgians by providing the following assistance:

  • Computers
    or other technology for online learning
  • Technological needs as a result of changes to service delivery
    to our
    students
  • Books, fees or tuition for students who’s college may have had to make
    adjustments in services in response to
    crisis
  • Support
    for behavioral intervention teams
  • Campus
    safety officer trainings and recognition
  • Educational materials/programs in preparation for and in response to crisis
