A quote from Dr. Seuss, a nod to Georgia Gwinnett College’s slogan and references from Gwinnett County State Court Judge Veronica Cope’s own life story.

That is how Cope delivered a simple message to Georgia Gwinnett College’s newest graduates at the Gas South Arena on Tuesday morning: don’t let anything stand in the way of accomplishing their goals. Cope, who is the second African-American elected to serve as a State Court judge in Gwinnett, served as the college’s graduation speaker at GGC’s fall commencement ceremony at the arena.
