DINNER SEMINARS
Each semester we offer a small number of dinner seminars with Georgia College professors or visiting scholars on a wide variety of topics. These informal, "learning beyond the classroom" experiences (typically at a professor's home) are designed to stimulate thought and discussion, and promote student-faculty interaction. Dinner seminars are limited to 10 or so students depending on space. The Honors Program provides the dinner.
