IN THE NEWS: VSU Talks Concierge Coaching and Unwavering Commitment to Help Students Succeed
Valdosta State University recently invited South Georgia news media to learn more about a new effort to help students overcome any academic and personal obstacles they may face during the transition from face-to-face, on-campus instruction to online instruction.
