North Georgia College & State University's Alumni Association has documented the school's history in "Come Home to North Georgia," a coffee table-style book featuring photographs and personal narratives.

"We wanted the book to be something alumni could relate to and to make it personal for them," said Mark Howarth, director of alumni affairs.

"We all have personal experiences from our time as students, but there are also shared experiences that have made North Georgia a home away from home for many students and soldiers."

The 160-page book spotlights campus monuments and moments, such as the daily reveille ceremony. It also includes stories about the first admittance of women to the college's ROTC program and Corps of Cadets in 1973. Photographs depict the scenic view of campus from Crown Mountain, the landscape of surrounding Lumpkin County and many of the school's most cherished ceremonies.

Stories cover the history of Price Memorial Hall, the construction of the Arch and the unveiling of the Freedom's Vigil monument at the Memorial Wall.

The book is available through the North Georgia College & State University Alumni Association at 706-864-1547
