Establishment

Savannah State University was originally founded as a result of the Second Morrill Land Grant Act of August 30, 1890, The act had specific wording which mandated that southern and border states develop of Black land grant colleges. On November 26, 1890 the Georgia General Assembly passed enabling legislation creating the Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth.

A preliminary session of the school was held in the Baxter Street School Building in Athens, Georgia where Richard R. Wright Sr. was principal. The college operated in Athens for several months in 1891 before moving to its permanent location in Savannah on October 7, 1891, with Wright as the first president. The school had five faculty members, and eight students who were all graduates of Edmund Asa Ware High School, the first public high school for blacks in Augusta, Georgia.

Early years

The first baccalaureate degree was awarded in 1898. In 1921 the first female students were admitted as residents on the campus. The college became a full four-year degree-granting institution in 1928 with the removal of the high school and normal programs. The school became a full member institution of the University System of Georgia in 1932 and the name was changed to Georgia State College. The college served as Georgia’s land-grant institution for African-American students until 1947 when the designation was transferred to Fort Valley State College). In January 1950 the name was again changed, this time to Savannah State College.

Modern history

In 1996 the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia elevated Savannah State College, to the status of state university and the name was changed to Savannah State University.

Savannah State University is the first institution in the state of Georgia to offer the homeland security degree program and the second institution in the University System of Georgia to offer wireless Internet connectivity to students throughout the campus.

Adams Hall, named for A. Pratt Adams was built in 1931 under the administration of Dr. Benjamin Hubert, the third President of the College (1926-1947). Image courtesy the Dixie News Co., Savannah, Ga. from the Historic Postcard Collection, RG 48-2-5, Georgia Archives.

Early years

The original campus consisted of 86 acres (348,030 m) and three buildings (Boggs Hall, Parsons Hall and a farmhouse) with 51 acres (206,390 m) of the land serving as the school's farm. Several of the campus' older buildings were originally constructed by students and faculty members, and display architectural styles from the past century.

Historic facilities

Walter Bernard Hill Hall, built in 1901, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The Georgia Historical Commission and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have recognized both the Savannah State campus and Hill Hall as a part of the Georgia Historical Marker Program.

Planned improvements

On October 15, 2007 (2007-10-15) Savannah State broke ground on a new academic building. Planned student facilities in the building include 10 classrooms, three lecture rooms, three computer labs, and an applied research and observation labs. The building will also house the Africana studies exhibit, the Dean of Humanities and faculty offices, the Public Administration/Urban Studies and the Social Work and Social and Behavioral Sciences departments. The currently unnamed building is scheduled to open in 2009.

Notable campus events

Portions of the Paramount Pictures movie The General's Daughter were filmed at historic Hill Hall on the campus during the summer of 1997. The film’s director Simon West was quoted as saying the campus and Savannah generally “had the most varied and interesting look” to represent the “brooding,” “hot and steamy and sticky” “Southern Gothic” impression.

The TLC show Trading Spaces filmed an episode (entitled: Savannah: SSU Steppers) on the campus on September 7-9, 2007 as two spaces in the King-Frazier Student Center were transformed by members of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. The episode premiered on Nov. 17, 2007.

Savannah State University in the news

Winless Basketball season

The team’s final game (a 49-44 loss to Florida A&M) was covered by several national sports organizations including ESPN.

Savannah State University vs. Commissioned II Love

Template:Ongoing lawsuit Commissioned II Love, an evangelical Christian campus group, with the assistance of The Alliance Defense Fund's Center for Academic Freedom and the National Legal Foundation filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against Savannah State University and several university employees on March 1, 2007.

The student group was recognized as an official organization in 2003 but was later suspended (April 10, 2006) and then expelled on September 11, 2006 after some students complained to university police that its members engaged in activities such as "foot washings" and "baptisms." At the time the university categorized such activities as hazing.

On August 24, 2007, a federal judge denied the school’s motion to have the case dismissed.
