Meet M.A. in Rhetoric & Composition student Storm Murray! She chose Georgia State after meeting with students and faculty. "The students and faculty were so kind, supportive, and enthusiastic about the ideas I was interested in, and the courses seemed engaging and diverse. Additionally, the small class sizes meant that I would be able to really get to know my instructors and peers - something that is really important to me as a student. The combination of these elements is wh...at led me to pursue my M.A. at GSU and has been a major part of why my experience has been so positive. Even during the chaos of COVID-19, the support and enthusiasm of the faculty has never dwindled. Choosing GSU was, by far, one of the best decisions I've made." Tune in tomorrow as Storm hosts a Q&A at 12 p.m. on GSU English Major's Instagram Story about the Rhetoric & Composition program. Follow along here: http://ow.ly/G59e50DiTf4
