Residents of Conyers and Rockdale County interested in deepening their understanding of the local government have an opportunity to do just that with the return of Conyers University. This six-week program, at no charge to participants, aims to bridge the gap between citizens and city operations. Conyers University invites locals to engage in interactive sessions facilitated by city staff and officials, providing insights into the workings of various departments within the city.
The program is scheduled for Monday evenings starting October 6, and runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. While most classes will convene at the Conyers City Hall, one exception is the session dedicated to public safety, which will take place at an alternate location. According to a release by the City of Conyers, each meeting promises an interactive activity that complements the evening's focus, adding a practical element to the learning experience.
Enrollment is limited and reserved exclusively for residents of the Conyers or Rockdale County. Interested individuals are encouraged to register before the deadline on Wednesday, September 17. Mayor Vince Evans, committed to transparency and community engagement, praised the program: "Conyers has a great story to tell and participants in the past two years of our Conyers University classes can attest to that," highlighting the program as a platform for one-on-one interactions between citizens and local government, as noted by the city's website.
The culmination of the program will be a graduation ceremony, where participants will be recognized for their commitment and newfound knowledge at the Conyers City Council meeting on November 19. Free registration for Conyers University is currently open, with details available on the city's website.
