2020 Fall FROG Week

FROG Week may look different this year, but we are continuing to train the next generation of Army leaders. We're using safety precautions such as six feet of social distance between each cadet, hand washing regularly and wearing our mask as a uniform item. Our freshman cadets are in-processing over a two-day period.

I believe the Corps of Cadets has been very flexible in helping implement the new procedures. This year it was an entirely new plan all around, up and down, left and right.

It has been great. We still do everything together as a team. We go marching. We do PT. We get yelled at by the sergeants. You know, we're all as a FROG Week cadet, we're all going through it together, and it's not just me. It's everybody.

Based on our structure, the Corps of Cadets is a well-equipped organization to usher in these new guidelines of social distancing and wearing masks because we train our leaders to be adaptable and to be very flexible.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
