August 12, 2022
Tucker, Ga. (August 12, 2022) – The start of the school for DeKalb’s children can only mean one thing, the start of University of Government Affairs Tucker! UGA Tucker is an education program that highlights City Departments one night a month from September through March and is free and open to all.
“We have been doing this for five years now and the feedback is nothing but positive,” said Communications Director Sonja Szubski. “Our staff loves providing insight to how our local government works and the community has been appreciative of the offering over the years.”
This year the class will meet on the third Tuesday at 7 p.m. starting in September and will go through March, taking December off for the holidays. Every few years the offerings change and will include City Leadership, Community Development, GIS, Parks and Recreation, Economic Development and a City Council meeting.
