GSU envelopes Perimeter College, Troy Covington closing doors - Grishma Rimal, Newton Citizen

Although small-scaled, institutes of higher education in Rockdale and Newton counties made substantial splashes in 2016 with the following news. Perimeter College becomes a part of Georgia State. The Newton campus of what was formerly known as Georgia Perimeter College is now a part of Georgia State University. The two institutions merged early January after the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia capped a year of planning and preparations with a vote approving the consolidation. With the merger, Georgia Perimeter College was renamed Perimeter College, and Georgia State’s enrollment exceeded 50,000 students. http://www.newtoncitizen.com/news/local/newton/gsu-envelopes-perimeter-college-troy-covington-closing-doors/article_72e79c1a-f75d-5931-9ada-91aa15cd42b6.html
