Come celebrate the culmination of GCSU's PIN solar/business course

College of Business & Technology Thursday July 25, 2024

Please help us celebrate the culmination of GCSU's free certificate course in solar business at 11 a.m. in Magnolia Ballroom at the Student Activities Center.

The event marks completion of four cohorts of classes, which provided free instruction and training to residents in green technology, solar power and next-generation business tactics.

The solar/business course was funded by a PIN grant and culminated in a final project last week. Ten PIN participants helped install $20,000 worth of solar panels to Baldwin County's Water Treatment Facility.

On Monday, faculty and municipalities speakers will talk about the educational benefits of the work development program, as well as the impact of solar power on towns and cities. Afterwards, there will be tours of newly-installed solar panels at the Lamar F. Hamm Water Treatment Plant, 510 East Montgomery Street, Milledgeville.

Invited guests include Georgia Senator Rick Williams (Dist. 25), Georgia House Rep. Kenneth Vance (Dist. 133) and regional economic development manager for Georgia Power's Northeast region, Andrew Carnes.
