STORY 1:Gwinnett Tech's Glen Cannon Appointed To AI Commission

Dr. D. Glen Cannon, President of Gwinnett Technical College, has been appointed to the Southern Regional Education Board's new Commission on Artificial Intelligence in Education. This commission, consisting of leaders from government, education, and business, aims to guide the integration of AI in classrooms and workforce preparation. It will develop recommendations for using AI in K-12 and postsecondary education, crafting related policies, and preparing students for AI careers. Cannon expressed enthusiasm for contributing to this effort, emphasizing the potential of AI to enhance learning and prepare students for a tech-driven job market.

STORY 2:Gwinnett's 2045 Unified Plan Wins ARC Regional Excellence Award

Gwinnett County received a Regional Excellence Award from the Atlanta Regional Commission for its 2045 Unified Plan, recognized in the Visionary Planning category. The plan, titled "Building the Daily Community," aims to create a vibrant, connected community ready for future growth. It addresses transit, housing, public spaces, and economic development, based on extensive community feedback. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson highlighted the plan's commitment to inclusivity and sustainability. Planning Director Matt Dickison noted its focus on improving daily life through better transportation and housing. The award honors projects enhancing sustainability and quality of life in metropolitan Atlanta.





STORY 3:Grayson Honors Bradley Blalock's MLB Journey with Jersey Retirement

Bradley Blalock's path to Major League Baseball was challenging. Despite a strong high school career at Grayson, he had only one college offer and chose to enter the 2019 MLB Draft, where the Boston Red Sox picked him in the 32nd round. His career faced setbacks, including the canceled 2020 minor league season and Tommy John surgery in 2022. After recovering, he was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers and then the Colorado Rockies, where he earned his first major league win. Grayson High School honored him by retiring his No. 6 jersey, celebrating his perseverance and success as an inspiration for current players.
