Welcome To The Government & Community Affairs Department
Welcome to the Office of Government and Community Affairs at Georgia State University from all of the staff here! We are delighted to serve as the primary connection between the university and elected officials, facilitating communication and nurturing relationships with local, state, and federal government offices and legislative bodies. Our goal is to ensure that elected officials have a single point of contact and a unified voice for the university.
Our office actively keeps track of legislative developments and provides accurate and timely analyses of proposals, assessing their potential impacts—both positive and negative—on Georgia State students, faculty, staff, and research interests. This crucial work is supported by the expertise and dedication of our outstanding faculty and staff.
We warmly invite you to explore our website. Whether you are interested in inviting an elected official to campus, participating in the legislative process, or have questions about the university’s political involvement, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to help!
