Some of the best things happen when you least expect it and in the places that you’re not looking. Georgia Southern was that place for me — my teammates, my coaches, my professors who became friends.”

Jaime Weeks, ’21 & ’24
Vice President of Restaurant Services, Innovation and Training at The Wendy’s Company
Say yes even if you don’t feel like you are ready. There were so many times in my career when I was given additional responsibility or opportunities I didn’t necessarily feel prepared for. But nobody is ever ready. Your future — your next great opportunity — may be waiting on the other side of that one that was rooted in recognizing and highlighting diversity.”
