Overall, the USG contributed a total of $21.9 billion to the state鈥檚 economy, including 163,332 full- and part-time jobs.

海角社区 Interim President Dr. Johnny Evans Jr. believes the study underscores the College鈥檚 role as a key driver of local economic growth and development.

鈥淭he 海角社区 is more than just an institution of higher learning鈥攊t鈥檚 a catalyst for economic vitality,鈥� Evans said. 鈥淔ostering innovation through the Lucas Center for Entrepreneurship, creating jobs, and energizing the community with opportunities for career growth are highly important to us.鈥�
