The clash between Israelis and Palestinians has recently reverberated on school campuses across the United States, sparking debates and discussions around the fundamental principles of the First Amendment, the rights to free speech and assembly.
At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and protect the precious right of each and every American to express themselves freely. It is a mark of our history, of our culture and it permeates our culture. As a leading high-level 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 for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is unmatched.
As campus leaders, our number one duty is to domesticate 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 free to express themselves freely and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is that those rights are exercised in a way that respects our educational mission, preserves the protection of all, and is consistent with our institutional policies, without illegal behavior. This means that violating the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.
Together, let us uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and courtesy as we equip our students to walk toward their goal.
Go bold!

Twenty students from top Georgia schools participated in Camp Logistics, a five-day informal camp exploring supply chain logistics and control as well as school options, encouraging the schools’ top students to study and work in this field. The University of North Georgia (UNG) hosted the camp June 24-28 at UNG’s Dahlonega campus, and Syfan Logistics was the sponsor.
Campers listened to logistics experts and made boxes for local businesses, 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 light up as they witness logistics operations has been incredibly rewarding,” said Varun Gupta, associate professor of Logistics and Analytics. “Our Logistics Advisory Board members have gone above and beyond by sharing their reports and interacting with students. Their love for the industry is obviously contagious.
Curiosity about boxing is the main draw of the camp, and many scholars hope to pursue internships and careers in boxing.
Michael Mah of Pendergrass, Georgia, was pleasantly surprised when he won an award while listening to Vaughan Griffiths of Porsche North America 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 hopes to spend most of the day in one place and then take a quick excursion to a site. He called the camp “more intuitive” and said it provides the experience for campers.
“I intend to study business and logistics, and I hope to work with Syfan. I need to do summer camps with them and things like that,” he said. “I knew logistics was something vital. It runs the entire United States, yet there are a lot of little things that go up. It’s a big industry. “
North Hall High School senior Thomas Clifton had some wisdom in logistics because 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 familiarize yourself with everything about business, and I think this will give you an interesting insight,” he said.
Manavi Chanana, of Cumming, Georgia, is a sophomore at the Alliance Academy for Innovation in Forsyth County.
“I was looking for more information about the business side of logistics. It has been 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 attended. “
Shreyas Jukkalkar, a resident of Cumming, Georgia, is a junior at South Forsyth High School in Cumming.
“This was an eye-opening experience for me. I was surprised to learn how complex our source chain formula is here in the United States. Supply chain logistics is a giant component of our country,” he said. “It has a lot of steps and software improve the formula. What surprised me the most was the complexity of the total formula. “
Jukkalkar encourages those interested in learning more about origin chain logistics to participate 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. “
