21 March - World Down Syndrome Day

Georgian American University joined World Down Syndrome Day to raise students' awareness and understanding of Down syndrome. The students and the lecturers wear brightly colored socks and took photos.

Today, the slogan ''Friends don’t count chromosomes” is widely spread, down syndrome is not a disease, but is a naturally occurring chromosomal arrangement that has always been a part of the human condition, being universally present across racial, gender and social economic condition. 

GAU always supports such kind of events and encourages its students, lecturers and staff to take part in social projects.
