Listen to Caylin, a UGA student, and Nicole, Director of Student Transitions, share their experiences with Welcome UGA and how this campus-wide celebration helps students make new friends and find community at the beginning of each semester.
Welcome UGA continues its campus-wide celebration into the new year for incoming and returning students. Various departments and organizations hosted not just events, but opportunities to connect with students as they begin a new semester – fostering a sense of belonging for them on campus.
This week, the University of Georgia welcomes 6,175 first-year students from more than 43,000 applicants. It’s one of most academically qualified classes in the university’s history, and the numbers are on target with UGA’s new strategic enrollment plan.
Over the past year, the Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) Web and Mobile Technology team has been working to improve the student digital experience. Their efforts include making multiple UGA applications more accessible to students by integrating them into the UGA Mobile App.
When new and returning University of Georgia students come to Athens for the fall semester, they will notice a series of highly visible initiatives to further strengthen campus security — from new signs and perimeter fencing to lighting upgrades, emergency call stations and automatic license plate readers.
Researchers and educators at the University of Georgia Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant work in a unique kind of lab. On Skidaway Island, staff are surrounded on every side by miles of salt marsh and towering oak trees with vibrant, twisting branches covered in Spanish moss. Egrets soar overhead and squareback crabs scurry over their boots as they cross the maritime forest floor.
Due to the National Weather Service’s expectation of extremely low temperatures and dangerously high winds tomorrow, all campuses of the University of Georgia will be closed on Friday, December 23.
