Student Life
Gainesville State College students can participate in student activities such as intramurals, clubs and organizations, bands, chorus, publications, cultural affairs programs, fine arts offerings, extended orientation, and international-intercultural studies programs. To promote student involvement in extra-curricular activities, the college offers co-curricular transcripts for use in job and academic applications.
The Gainesville State College Foundation generates and administers private financial support for the college, primarily for student scholarships, faculty and staff development, and outreach activities of the College. Graduates of the college can join the Gainesville State College Alumni Association. The college Continuing Education department supports professional and vocational interests of area citizens and reflects a lifelong learning philosophy of the institution.
Gainesville State College, in partnership with Brenau University, is a member of the Gainesville Theatre Alliance (GTA) which produces three to four Off-Broadway plays or musicals each year.
Items such as notebooks and sweatshirts in the GSC bookstore were branded with "Home of the Fighting Geese" and Laker-the-goose mascots. Those images were intended only to effect school spirit because GSC did not field intercollegiate or extramural athletic teams.
