Photograph of Dr. Hugh M. Mills Jr., who served as the first president of Gainesville Junior College, from 1965 to 1983. Wearing a suit, he is shown walking down a sidewalk.
Founded in 1964, Gainesville State College is the only publicly supported two-year college in northeast Georgia. Consequently, it has long served as a critical point of access to higher education for both young people and adults residing in the area northeast of Atlanta. A product of the postwar junior-college movement in Georgia, Gainesville State College has worked to enhance educational opportunity for rural and small-town Georgians, citizens for whom postsecondary education had once been unobtainable in their home communities. - Metadata URL:
