Establishment

Savannah State University was founded as a result of the Second Morrill Land Grant Act of August 30, 1890.[10] The act mandated that southern and border states develop land grant colleges for black students, as their systems were segregated. On November 26, 1890, the Georgia General Assembly passed legislation creating the Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth.

A preliminary session of the school was held in the Baxter Street School Building in Athens, where Richard R. Wright Sr. was principal.[11] The college operated there for several months during 1891, before moving to its permanent location in Savannah on October 7, 1891, with Wright as the first president. The school had five faculty members. Its eight students were all graduates of Edmund Asa Ware High School, the first public high school for blacks in Augusta. The campus was built on the former lands of Placentia Plantation, including its colored cemetery.[12]

Early years

The college awarded its first baccalaureate degree in 1898.[1] In 1921, the first female students were admitted as residents on the campus.[1] In 1928, the college became a full four-year degree-granting institution and ended its high school and normal school programs. Normal schools had been created in the 19th century in many state systems in the United States, after the German model, to educate teachers for elementary school students. With the expansion of towns across the US, and continuing issues in trying to educate four million freedmen and their descendants, there was an urgent need to establish many new schools and to train teachers quickly in the North and the South. States used normal schools for training teachers for primary school grades and sometimes secondary school as well. Normal schools or colleges tended to have two- or three-year programs. Gradually the normal schools were converted to full colleges with four-year curricula, or were left behind.[1]

In 1932, the college became a full member institution of the University System of Georgia and its name was changed to Georgia State College.[1] The college served as Georgia's land-grant institution for African-American students until 1947. The designation was then transferred to Fort Valley State College.[1] In January 1950, the college changed its name to Savannah State College.[1]

Modern history

With the growth in its graduate and research programs, in 1996 the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia elevated Savannah State College to the status of state university and the name was changed to Savannah State University.[10]

In 2008, a proposal was made to merge Savannah State University with Armstrong Atlantic State University, but it did not pass.[13] [14] [15] [16]

Savannah State University is the first institution in the state of Georgia to offer the homeland security degree program. It was the second institution in the University System of Georgia to offer wireless internet connectivity to students throughout the campus.[17] [18]

The General's DaughterPortions of the Paramount Pictures movie The General's Daughter were filmed at historic Hill Hall on the campus during the summer of 1997. The film's director Simon West was quoted as saying the campus and Savannah generally "had the most varied and interesting look" to represent the "brooding," "hot and steamy and sticky" "Southern Gothic" impression.
  • Trading SpacesThe TLC show Trading Spaces filmed an episode ("Savannah: SSU Steppers") on the campus on September 7–9, 2007, as two spaces in the King-Frazier Student Center were transformed by members of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. The episode premiered on Nov. 17, 2007.[19]
  • Commissioned II LoveCommissioned II Love, an evangelical Christian campus group, with the assistance of The Alliance Defense Fund's Center for Academic Freedom and the National Legal Foundation filed a federal discrimination lawsuit[20] against Savannah State University and several university employees on March 1, 2007.[21] [22] The student group was recognized as an official organization in 2003 but was later suspended (April 10, 2006) and then expelled on September 11, 2006 after some students complained to university police that its members engaged in activities such as "foot washings" and "baptisms." At the time the university categorized such activities as hazing. On August 24, 2007, a federal judge denied the school's motion to have the case dismissed. The university and the organization reached and agreement allowing the group to re-register as a student organization, with "all rights, benefits and privileges" in February 2008.[23] The settlement did not include any admission of wrongdoing by the university or any monetary award to Commissioned II Love, but ended the dispute between the two parties.

    • Academics

    Savannah State offers undergraduate and graduate degrees through the following colleges:

    Students may choose from 23 accredited undergraduate baccalaureate and 5 graduate master's degree programs offered through the university's colleges. The university has developed new partnerships that expand the range of programs and resources for students. Taking advantage of its location on the coast, the university's Marine Biology Department operates two research vessels: the R/V Sea Otter (a 35feet twin diesel vessel owned by NOAA) and the R/V Tiger (a 22feet outboard work boat).[25] In the fall of 2007 Savannah State teamed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to offer a new course in environmental regulations, so students can deepen understanding of policy and implementation issues. The program also helps them learn about specific environmental topics.[26]

    Savannah State established an honors program for qualified high-achieving and ambitious undergraduate students.[27]

    Accreditation

    Accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Savannah State University also has achieved fully accredited programs in specialized areas of science and engineering:

    Additionally, the Chemistry department is American Chemical Society (ACS) certified.[28]

    Funding

    Savannah State is a public institution, receiving funds from the State of Georgia, tuition, fees, research grants, private scholarship funds (including the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund and the Tom Joyner Foundation), and alumni contributions.[38] The University System of Georgia is governed by the Georgia Board of Regents and dispenses public funds (allocated by the state's legislature) to Savannah State, excluding lottery-funded HOPE Scholarships. The university's endowment was $2,433,508.[39] As of FY05, the university's budget was $42,155,964.[40] In FY06, the university received $7,725,311 in research, instruction, and public service contracts and grants.[41]

    Savannah State University is located approximately 50NaN0 east southeast from the center of Savannah, 2500NaN0 from Atlanta, and 1200NaN0 from Jacksonville, Florida.[42] The campus is accessible from Interstate 95 and Interstate 16.[5] Spanish moss drapes the dense live oak trees, while palm trees, magnolias, and a wide variety of azaleas, camellias, and other native plants are scattered throughout the 2011NaN1 marsh-side campus.

    Early years

    The original campus consisted of 860NaN0 and three buildings (Boggs Hall, Parsons Hall and a farmhouse), with 510NaN0 of the land serving as the school's farm.[43] Several of the campus' older buildings were originally constructed by students and faculty members, and display architectural styles from the past century.[5]

    The Georgia Historical Commission and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have recognized both the Savannah State campus and Hill Hall as a part of the Georgia Historical Marker Program.[44]
