True Blue Spotlight

Georgia Southern University holds a special place in the hearts of alumni Marc Snyder (‘07) and his wife Erin (‘08). That’s why, on May 24, the newlyweds used their first moment as husband and wife to show off their True Blue spirit at Dunnottar Castle in Stonehaven, Scotland! The couple met in 2006.

“I will forever bleed blue and white,” said Erin. “Georgia Southern was the best college experience that I never knew I could have. I am so glad I was able to get such a great education and make so many lifelong friends.”

Marc agrees, saying attending Georgia Southern “was by far the best experience… I wouldn’t trade it to go to any other school.” Both Marc and Erin credit their experiences at the University with not only aiding their education, but also their careers. “I think my education from Georgia Southern was top notch. I still use what I learned in my current job,” said Erin, who is a student nurse extern at WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia. Some of Erin’s best memories were during her time as a SOAR leader. “SOAR taught me so much about Georgia Southern history, present and future. That was when I really fell in love with Georgia Southern.”

Memories are truly what the newlyweds will cherish forever. “Georgia Southern means walking on Sweetheart Circle in the summer with Marc,” said Erin. “From the beautiful campus and small classrooms to the fun and huge football game days, Georgia Southern is an incredible place to be,” Marc added. “GATA EAGLES!”
