Attending Georgia Military College's Academic Center of Excellence Grand Opening

I attended the grand opening ceremony for Georgia Military College's newest building, the Academic Center of Excellence. This building centralizes academic affairs administrations with office space, a collaboration room, a soundproof technology room, and various other spaces.
