6 College Survival Guide June ‘13

Helping college studentschoose the right major

Picking a college major is a bigstep for young students.Though many adults eventually

find themselves working in fields thathave little to do with their collegemajors, many more spend their entirecareers in the same field they choseto major in way back in their collegedays.

Choosing a major is a decision that ulti-mately rests on the shoulders of the studentswho must consider a host of factors beforecommitting to a specific field of study. Butparents can still help their children, whetherthose kids are already enrolled in college orcollege-bound, as they make such an impor-tant decision that could very well affect therest of their lives.

* Encourage patience. Today's college stu-dents and college-bound youngsters are liv-ing in a world that's significantly different thanthe one their parents or even older siblingsmight have encountered. Global and domes-tic unemployment rates remain high, andtechnology is changing the way many indus-tries conduct business. But students trying topick a major should avoid picking one tooquickly. Just because a certain field is experi-encing job growth does not mean that field isideal for all students. Encourage kids to bepatient when choosing a major so they canfind the field that's right for them, and not justthe major they feel will produce the best jobprospects.

* Suggest a double major. Many of today'sstudents are fully aware of the difficult jobmarket and the cost of a college education.As a result, such students want to choose amajor they feel will put them in the best posi-tion to land a well-paying job after college.That's a smart strategy, but it's also one thatoverlooks the joy of studying a subject youare passionate about. Parents can simultane-ously encourage kids to be smart about theirjob prospects and pursue their passions bysuggesting a double major. For example, ifyour child has a love of art but understandsthe difficulty in earning a living as an artist,suggest a double major in art and graphicdesign. This way he or she has more careeroptions upon graduation but still has thechance to pursue a subject he or she is pas-sionate about while in school.

* Encourage students to apply for intern-ships. An internship is another great way par-ents can help kids as they decide on a col-

lege major. Internships are rarely easy to get,but some firms hire interns who are still in highschool. Parents should encourage kids to pur-sue internships as early as possible.

Internships can provide young students withsome real-world experience and give theman accurate glimpse into what their profes-sional lives might be like if they choose a par-ticular field of study.

Some kids might be encouraged by aninternship, while others might realize a givenfield is not really for them. Either way, theinternship can help narrow down the field ofprospective majors for young students.

* Let kids know a major isn't the same thingas a career. The pressure to choose the rightmajor can be overwhelming for some youngstudents. But parents should let kids know thata major is not the same thing as a career, andmany graduates end up working in fields thathad little or nothing to do with their majors.For instance, just because a student earns adegree in finance does not mean he or shewill end up working on Wall Street. While par-ents should emphasize the importance ofchoosing the right major when speaking totheir children, they should also let kids knowthat nothing is ever set in stone. That can helptake some of the pressure off students as theymake such an important decision.

Today's college students have more to con-sider when choosing a college major thanmany of their predecessors. But parents canstill take steps to help kids choose the rightmajor without succumbing to the stress thatcomes with making such a significant deci-sion.

Today's college students may lean on their parents for advice as they attempt tochoose a college major that will help them improve their job prospects after college.

Students are periodically tested togauge their progress on a variety ofsubjects. Although testing can be an

effective way to determine a student's under-standing of a given subject, not every studentperforms well on tests. Test-taking comes easi-ly for some but not so for others. Nerves ortrouble concentrating can foil the best stu-dents. However, there are ways for students toimprove their test-taking skills.

PREPARATIONMost tests are given with prior notice,

enabling students to prepare for them well inadvance. Sometimes teachers and professorswill surprise students with a quiz. These popquizzes are used to judge how well studentsare absorbing the information and if theyhave been paying attention.

When in class, continually jot down notesand create an outline of important informa-tion. The teacher may provide hints about theupcoming test, including emphasizing specificareas of focus or even revealing the format ofthe test. Contrary to what some studentsbelieve, teachers want their students to suc-ceed. Therefore, your teacher may offer areview session the day before or be open forquestions prior to the test if further clarificationis needed.

Studying with others can shed new light ona subject. Studying difficult subject matter

with peers may help students grasp the mate-rials better than they did in class. Classmatesmay have some tricks they've developed,including pneumonic devices for putting factstogether.

THE DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY OF THE TESTPrior to a test, make sure you eat and get

enough rest. While it may be tempting to pullan "all-nighter," you will not perform well onthe test if you are tired from having studied allnight. Review the material and put the mainideas or formulas onto a sheet that can bequickly reviewed. Review it many times andthen put it away. Have a good meal, relaxand try to get at least eight hours of sleep.

On the day of the test, wake up and arriveon time or even a few minutes early for yourclass. This can help to calm your nerves andenable you to squeeze in some last-secondstudying.

THE TEST ITSELFMake sure you have the supplies needed

for the test. This may include pens or pencils,a calculator, a textbook if you are allowed toreference, or any other supplies the teacherallows. Have a watch available so that youcan pace yourself during the test. Avoid usinga mobile phone during the test, as theteacher may misinterpret that as cheating.

Try to remain positive through the test. If you

feel yourself getting nervous, take a few deepbreaths and regroup.

In addition to these tips, there are otherways to approach the test.

* Do the easiest problems first. If you do notknow a question, skip it and move on. Theremay be clues later on in the test that help yougo back and answer skipped questions.

* Always read the entire question. Skimmingcould find you missing important instructions.

* Look for words that may help you deter-mine the answer, such as "all,""never" or"none." They may present clues to the answer.

* Pay attention to your work and only yourwork. Do not be distracted if others finishbefore you.

* If there is time, go back and look over thetest. Make sure that all the questions havebeen answered and check for any carelessmistakes. Proofread any essays and shortanswer questions.

Preparing well for a test, remaining calmand checking over your work can help stu-dents who struggle with test-taking do theirbest.

• Milledgeville, known as Georgia’s Antebellum Capital,succeeded Louisville as state capital from 1803 to 1868.Carefully planned from its inception, the city was envi-sioned as an appealing combination of broad streets run-ning parallel with the four points of a compass and pub-lic squares of 20 acres each. Today, in fact, Milledgevilleis considered the only surviving example of a completeFederal period city.

• The Georgia Land Act of 1803 outlined a new landssystem and created Baldwin, Wilkinson and Waynecounties. It also provided for the location and survey of atown that was to be called Milledgeville, named in honorof Georgia’s then-Governor, John Milledge (1802-1806).The Georgia state legislature declared Milledgeville as theseat of government in December 1804.

• Milledgeville was the capital of Georgia until April 20,1868. Milledgeville and Washington, D.C., are the onlytwo cities in the country designed and laid out to be theseats of government. Construction of the Capitol startedin 1804 and continued for 20 years. The building wasconsidered one of the finest examples of Gothic stylearchitecture in the country. It burned in 1941, but areplica was erected and is now part of Georgia MilitaryCollege Campus.

• The Old Governor’s Mansion, now a popular touristattraction, was constructed in 1838 and housed gover-nors through 1868.

• The state’s penitentiary site was selected in 1808 andwas constructed on one of the city’s four original public

squares. It is now occupied by Georgia College.Georgia seceded from the Union in January 1861 duringa legislative session in Milledgeville. In November 1864, Union Gen. William TecumsehSherman invaded the city and burned the penitentiary.He and his troops remained here for a short time andoccupied much of the city. Following the war, the capitalwas moved to Atlanta.

• Milledgeville has the distinction of being the only cityin the world to require a train to stop at a red light —which resulted in the city being included in the GuinnessBook of World Records. Congressman Carl Vinson, bet-ter known as Father of the Two Ocean Navy, lived, diedand is buried in Milledgeville. Other famous residentsinclude writer Flannery O’Connor, who penned works ather Andalusia Farm, Vaudeville and motion picture actorOliver Hardy, former NFL star Earnest Byner, and NFLstars Leroy Hill and Nick Harper, among others. • Milledgeville is the home of Georgia Military College(established in 1879 in the Old State Capitol Building asMiddle Georgia Military and Agricultural College),Georgia College and State University, the state’s liberalarts college, (established in 1889 as Georgia Normal andIndustrial College) and a satellite campus of CentralGeorgia Technical College. The world’s largest kitchen,capable of preparing approximately 30,000 meals perday, is located at Central State Hospital in Milledgeville.

•Revered for its storied columns and Greek revival archi-tecture, Milledgeville is known for its Antebellum histo-ry, its rich cultural contributions and historic touristattractions.

Georgia Military College was established in 1879 by act of the Georgia General Assembly "toeducate young men and women from the Middle Georgia area in an environment which fostersthe qualities of good citizenship."

The school was originally called Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College and wasceded state government lands surrounding the Old Capitol Building, which was the seat of gov-ernment for the State of Georgia from 1807-1868. The Old Capitol Building, then as now, is cen-tral feature of the Milledgeville campus and sits on the city’s highest point.

The name of the school was changed to Georgia Military College in 1900. Legislative acts of1920 and 1922 severed the relationship with the University of Georgia and gave a local Board totalpower over the operations of the school.

In 1930 the official addition of a junior college division to the College-preparatory secondaryschool finally justified its name. In 1950 the War Department designated the institution a"Military Junior College." Today Georgia Military College is one of only five United StatesMilitary Junior Colleges.

The Georgia Military College of today is made up of a two-year liberal arts multi-campus jun-ior college and a preparatory school (grades six through 12). The college is a co-educational pub-lic institution operating under the direction of a publicly elected Board of Trustees.

Central Georgia Technical College began asMacon-Area Vocational Technical School wereaccepted in 1966. By 1973, student growth,industrial growth, and community demand ledto the need for a new and larger campus. Thisnew facility, located at 3300 Macon Tech Drive,was completed and occupied in 1978. In 1987the name was changed to Macon TechnicalInstitute (MTI).

Throughout the years, MTI has expanded toreflect the changing needs of the community. InJuly 1990 the institution expanded its outreachwhen it assumed governance of the BaldwinCounty Adult Center in Milledgeville. In 1991the Aircraft Structural Technology program,located at 1062 Forsyth Street, moved to themain campus. In December 1992 the StateBoard approved the granting of Associate ofApplied Technology (AAT) degrees. The firstprogram to admit students at this degree levelwas Medical Laboratory Technology in October1993.

In November 1993, MTI held the ground-breaking ceremony for a new facility on the southside of the Macon Campus off Raymonde KelleyDrive. Construction on the new facility began inearly 1994 and was completed in January 1996.The facility currently houses health programs, astudent lecture hall, and a 250-seat auditorium.Also included in this construction phase was an

aircraft hangar that provided the laboratory space for expanded aerospace training.

Seventy acres of land was transferred fromanother state agency to the Department ofTechnical and Adult Education to build a satel-lite campus in Milledgeville. Construction on theMilledgeville Campus began in 1996, and thecampus opened in fall 1997.

On July 6, 2000, as part of the EducationReform Act, Macon Technical Institute changedits name to Central Georgia Technical College(CGTC) to more accurately reflect the seven-county area that the college serves. These coun-ties include Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Jones,Monroe, Putnam, and Twiggs.

The College's expansion continued with thePutnam County Center opening in September2002, and the Crawford County Center openingin 2004. Building I, located on the main campus,also opened in 2004. It houses the School of Artsand Science, Library, Food Court, andBookstore.

July 1, 2009, Dr. Flora Tydings, a former Vice-President of Academic Affairs at the College andthe sitting president of Athens Technical Collegefilled a void as interim president during TCSG'ssearch for a permanent president. The currentpresident, Michael D. Moye, Ed. D., took thehelm as of February 16, 2010.

History of Georgia Military College

History of CGTC

Georgia College and State University,Georgia's public liberal arts university, wascreated by an act of the legislature Nov. 8,1889. Georgia Normal and IndustrialCollege, the institution's original name,was founded to provide a practical highereducation for women that would enablethem to enter business and industry orteaching.

Georgia Normal and Industrial Collegewas given the Old Governor's Mansion asa dormitory and presidential residence aswell as a sixteen-acre square filled withrubble from the former Georgia StatePenitentiary. In 1891 Old Main, the col-lege's first classroom building, was com-pleted. The first president, J. HarrisChappell, together with Julia Flisch, whowas now a faculty member, shaped thephilosophy and curriculum of the newcollege. Chappell wanted an egalitarianinstitution where, as he put it, "a million-aire's daughter ... could not be distin-guished from the poorest girl in theschool." The girls all wore the same brownuniforms and, through a set of complexrules and regulations, were isolated asmuch as possible from local males. Thecollege had something of the air of a con-vent. Chappell and Flisch also movedbeyond the industrial college mission todevelop a strong curriculum in the artsand humanities.

In 1905 Chappell was succeeded aspresident by the energetic and charismaticMarvin M. Parks. The Neoclassicalappearance of the campus took shape dur-ing Parks's twenty-one-year tenure, andGeorgia Normal and Industrial Collegemoved beyond its tentative experimentalyears to become one of the leading normalschools in the Southeast. Parks assembleda faculty that taught such innovativecourses as educational psychology, thoughhe had a more traditional view ofwomen's socioeconomic role than didChappell and Flisch. In 1917 Parks soughtto gain a share of federal Smith-Leverfunds for home economics extensionwork, and at the same time he lobbied thestate legislature for permission to confer

four-year degrees. Both actions generatedopposition from the board of trustees ofUGA. The UGA trustees argued, correct-ly, that the act that established GeorgiaNormal and Industrial College gave UGAfinal control and management of thewomen's college. Parks had no intentionof operating Georgia Normal andIndustrial College as a mere branch ofUGA. Cultivating powerful political allies,Parks wrested administrative control of thecollege from UGA, and in 1922 the two-year teachers' college became a four-yeardegree-granting institution with a newname—Georgia State College for Women(GSCW). In 1926 Parks was struck andkilled by a car in Tampa, Florida, but thecollege continued to flourish under a care-taker successor, a chemistry professornamed J. Luther Beeson (1927-34). On January 1, 1932, GSCW became partof the University System of Georgia, andtwo years later Guy H. Wells, a stout,nervously energetic, rather rustic native ofCarroll County, assumed the presidency.Whatever his cultural deficiencies, Wellswas a gifted administrator, and despitedepression-era shoestring budgets, the col-lege flourished under his guidance, withenrollment peaking at 1,500 in 1938.Wells encouraged student participation ingovernance decisions and, together withDean Ethel Adams, created enduring tra-ditions at GSCW. The most cherished ofthese was the Golden Slipper, a competi-tion between classes to produce the bestskits and dances, which soon came tosymbolize the sisterhood of the Jessies (thename for GSCW students). The campus was transformed duringWorld War II (1941-45) when, throughthe efforts of Congressman Carl Vinson, aMilledgeville resident, the college becamea training center for the Navy WAVES.From 1943 to 1945, 15,000 WAVESpassed through GSCW. The regular stu-dents felt a bit crowded, and their occa-sional resentment was expressed in car-toons drawn for the college newspaperand yearbook by Flannery O'Connor.O'Connor, who graduated from GSCW

in 1945, went on to become a majorAmerican writer and remains the college'smost distinguished graduate. Enrollment declined precipitously in thepostwar years, reaching a low of 585 stu-dents in 1953. Many young women con-sidered the very concept of a woman's col-lege confining and rather old-fashioned.

The decline was stabilized by two youngpresidents, Henry King Stanford (1953-56) and Robert E. Lee (1956-67). Leecame to embrace the embattled cause offemale education, a crusade resulting in1961 in the college's third name change,to the Woman's College of Georgia. Still,many of the college facilities were under-used, and Lee, under pressure from theBoard of Regents, began preparing thecollege for coeducation. The first maleswere admitted in 1967, the institution wasrenamed Georgia College, and enrollmentgrew over time from 1,107 in 1966 to4,500 in 1989. The tightly knit commu-nity of students began to dissolve. GeorgiaCollege had become a senior comprehen-sive college serving the needs of centralGeorgia, and three-fourths of the studentswere commuters. In 1977, under the lead-ership of J. Whitney Bunting (1967-81),the college was divided into schools: artsand sciences, education, and business; theSchool of Nursing was added in 1987.Enrollment in the School of Businessmushroomed during the Bunting years,and the college established off-campuscenters at Robins Air Force Base and inMacon, Dublin, and Forsyth.

During the presidency of Bunting's suc-cessor, Edwin G. Speir (1981-96), GeorgiaCollege began positioning itself forregional university status. Then, in 1995,the college's mission changed abruptly.The new chancellor of the university sys-tem, Stephen R. Portch, impressed withthe college's high admission standards andits handsome red-brick buildings andwhite Corinthian columns, suggested thatthe college might become the public liber-al arts college of Georgia, a state institu-tion that would provide the kind of edu-cational experience normally available

only at private colleges. Speir readilyembraced the new mission in 1996. Inthat year of dramatic change GeorgiaCollege, which had served as a regionalcollege for thirty years, now began recruit-ing students from all over the state—by2003, 75 percent of students came fromoutside central Georgia—and beganrecovering its liberal arts heritage. In addi-tion, because of a new statewide Board ofRegents policy, the college adopted itssixth name, Georgia College and StateUniversity. This radical shift in directionwas presided over first by Speir and hissuccessor, acting president Ralph W.Hemphill (1997) and then by the institu-tion's first female president, RosemaryDePaolo.

Beginning with her arrival in August1997, DePaolo, whose energy and drivewas comparable to that of Parks, workedto effect an intellectual and demographictransformation at Georgia College andState University. By 2002 she presidedover a university with approximately5,500 students, 700 faculty and staff, anda budget of $60 million. From 2001 to2003, 68 new faculty members werehired, the library building was tripled insize, eight new residence halls were underconstruction, and the university wasaccepted into membership in the Councilof Public Liberal Arts Colleges. The grad-uate program, which numbers more than1,050 students, includes a master's degreein music therapy and a Master of FineArts in creative writing. DePaolo resignedin 2003, and interim president David G.Brown took over July 1, 2003. PresidentDorothy Leland began her position Jan. 1,2004 and remained at Georgia Collegeuntil June 30, 2011. Following theannouncement of Dr. Leland’s departureto take on a new role at an institution inCalifornia, the Georgia Board of Regentsappointed Stas Preczewski named interimpresident at Georgia College.
