Georgia African American Male Experience boosts retention, graduation rates
Nick Jackson came out of quarantine with a new perspective on his personal and professional goals, thanks to support from the Georgia African American Male Experience.
As a second-year music major, Jackson saw how COVID-19 affected the music industry and wondered whether he should pursue a more technical degree. For guidance, he turned to Marques Dexter, assistant director of student initiatives and UGA’s GAAME program.
“I look up to Marques as a mentor more than anything,” Jackson said. “The music industry was declining quickly, and I knew I wanted stability after graduation. He offered a lot of advice and was very supportive.”

Additionally, the complaint alleges that Sasserâs speech is not entitled to First Amendment protections because the racial slur he used constitutes âfighting words.â Fighting words are defined by the Supreme Court as words that inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.â
