The clash between Israelis and Palestinians has recently resonated on school campuses across the United States, sparking debates and discussions around the founding principles of the First Amendment, the rights to freedom of speech and assembly.
At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and protect the valuable right of each and every American to express themselves freely. It is a mark of our history, our culture and it permeates our culture. As a leading senior military university, with a heritage spanning more than 150 years, we are very proud of our role in developing leaders who tirelessly protect those basic freedoms of all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is unmatched.
As university leaders, our number one duty is to tame an educational environment that ensures this exchange of concepts and the protection of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming environment where Americans feel empowered to express themselves freely and interact in exploration and learning. However, it is that these rights are exercised in a way that respects our educational mission, preserves the protection of all and is consistent with our institutional policies, without illicit behavior. This means that at the University of North Georgia, violation of the law, harassment, intimidation, invasion of private property, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated.
Together, let us uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and courtesy as we equip our students to walk toward their goal.
Go bold ahead!

Twenty students from top schools in Georgia participated in Camp Logistics, a free five-day camp that explores logistics and source chain control, as well as school options, encouraging the schools’ best students to study and work in this field. The North Georgia University (UNG) hosted the camp from June 24 to 28 at the UNG’s Dahlonega campus, and Syfan Logistics was the sponsor.
Campers listened to logistics experts and took the box to local companies, including Agile Cold Storage, Appalachian Regional Port, Kings Hawaiian, Kubota, Performance Food Group and Syfan Logistics.
“These reports demonstrate their interest in the field. Seeing students’ eyes rejoice as they witness logistics operations has been incredibly rewarding,” said Varun Gupta, associate professor of Logistics and Analytics. “Members of our Logistics Advisory Council have gone above and beyond by sharing their reports and interacting with students. His fondness for the industry is obviously contagious.
Curiosity about the box has been the main draw of the camp, and many scholars look forward to pursuing internships and careers at the box.
Michael Mah of Pendergrass, Georgia, was pleasantly surprised when he won an award while listening to Porsche North America’s Vaughan Griffiths deal with the Syfan Logistics group.
“On Monday I won a set of Lego Lamborghini from Porsche,” said the top student at Jackson County School. “It’s pretty cool. I asked an intelligent question. “
Mah said he hoped to spend most of the day in one place and then take a quick excursion to a site. He called camp “more intuitive” and said it provides fun for campers.
“I plan to study business and logistics, and I hope to work with Syfan. I need to do summer internships with them and things like that,” he said. “I knew logistics was a big thing. It stretches all over the United States, but there are a lot of little things that get loaded. It’s a big industry. “
Thomas Clifton, an outstanding student at North Hall High School, had some knowledge of logistics, as his father works in the industry.
“It’s such a vital industry. I didn’t realize how big that Array was. He knew a lot,” Clifton said. It’s one of those things where listening to someone and seeing how it all happens opened my eyes even more. It’s all logistics. “
Clifton said he hopes to hire a business consultant.
“As a business consultant, you have to be familiar with everything related to the business world, and I think that will give you an idea,” he said.
Manavi Chanana, of Cumming, Georgia, is a sophomore at the Alliance Academy for Innovation in Forsyth County.
“I wanted to know more about the business side of logistics. It was wonderful. It’s been helpful,” he said. It’s a wonderful camp that has given me so many reports that I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t participated. “”.
Shreyas Jukkalkar, a resident of Cumming, Georgia, is a junior at South Forsyth High School in Cumming.
“It was an eye-opening experience for me. I was surprised to learn how complex our supply chain formula is here in the United States. Supply chain logistics is an important component of our country,” he said. “It has many steps and the software improves the formula. What surprised me most was the complexity of the overall formula. “
Jukkalkar encourages those interested in learning more about origin chain logistics to get involved in the future.
“This camp is a wonderful opportunity to be informed and very informative,” Jukkalkar said. “I would like to thank Syfan Logistics for providing such a rewarding experience for all of us. The experience was wonderful and I was able to stay informed. ” Lots of new things, for sure. “
