A Look Back

The 2020-21 academic year was anything but normal at Georgia State or anywhere else in the world for that matter. However, throughout these most unique times, our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and fans still came together to help make the #PantherFamily even stronger.

As we close out the academic year, we take a look back at the accomplishments of the last 12 months and start to look ahead to what we are are most excited for in 2021-22, including full stadiums, the opening of a new soccer complex, watching the construction of our new convocation center, and winning conference championships.

What did we accomplish over the last 12 months? Here are just a few of the highlights:
