STORY 1: Gwinnett is a top player in Georgia's film industry
Gwinnett County emerges as a significant player in Georgia's film and TV industry, hosting the Signature Georgia Entertainment 100 event, showcasing its pivotal role in the state's entertainment sector. With notable projects like Marvel's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" and ABC's "Will Trent" filmed in the area, Gwinnett boasts a robust filmography. Despite the impending closure of Gwinnett Place Mall, other locations like OFS and Eagle Rock Studios sustain the county's allure for filmmakers. These facilities, along with Gwinnett's training programs and deep talent pool, contribute to its status as a premier filming destination, fostering job creation and economic growth in the region.
STORY 2: Gwinnett DA's Office wins statewide victim service award
The Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office's Victim Witness Program earned the 2024 Georgia Crime Victim Service Collaborative and Innovative Project Award from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. Recognized during National Crime Victims' Rights Week, the program demonstrated an exceptional commitment to victim-centered care. Serving over 84,000 crime victims in 2023, the program organized various initiatives like the Homicide Support Group and a candlelight vigil. They also distributed resource guides and conducted a Community Conversations web series. Gwinnett's Victim Witness Program was honored as the Child Fatality Review Committee Metro County of the Year. Gwinnett District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson praised the team's dedication, ensuring victims receive the support they need throughout the legal process.
STORY 3: Venezuelan refugee finds her way to GGC to complete college dream
Laura Davis, a Venezuelan native, fled her country due to political turmoil and found refuge in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Forced to leave college just before completing her psychology degree, she persevered and enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), drawn by its affordability and proximity. Despite challenges, Davis thrived at GGC, particularly in the RISEUP research lab, which focuses on social equity. She found a supportive community that valued her aspirations and ethnic background. Now, as she graduates, Davis plans to pursue a Ph.D. in social psychology, aiming to contribute meaningfully to academia and society. She will speak at GGC's spring 2024 commencement, symbolizing resilience, and determination in the face of adversity.
