The University System of Georgia — which includes Georgia Gwinnett College — is stopping short of requiring students returning to classes during the next couple of weeks to wear masks or get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Georgia Gwinnett College and local officials have long touted the college’s importance to Gwinnett County and the latest economic impact numbers form the University System of Georgia show just how important the school is.

The college’s impact on the local economy totals up to half-a-billion dollars, or more than $508 million to be exact, according to the university system. GGC officials were highlighting that number Tuesday.
