Bulldog Bulletin - December
Today, we hope you’ll pause to support organizations that are important to you. UGA invites you to donate to one of three timely funds—the Student Emergency Fund, Black Alumni Scholarship, and Vets for Pets and People—or to direct your support to another cause on campus. Your charitable choices are many, but there’s only one UGA.
The Bulldog 100 embody the best of the University of Georgia. These alumni are leading the way in business and building better communities. Every year, we celebrate Dawgs on top by recognizing the 100 fastest-growing businesses owned or led by UGA alumni.
Miss Sandra is famous for her hugs in Snelling and Bolton dining halls. This month, return Miss Sandra's kindness as she retires by making a gift in her honor to the Let All the Big Dawgs Eat Meal Plan Scholarship, which awards meal plans to students with need. Donors can also send Miss Sandra a personal message of gratitude.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Josh Clark (M ’99) and Chuck Bryant (AB ’95), the duo behind the award-winning podcast Stuff You Should Know, released a book last week—and tomorrow (Dec. 2), we’ll host Chuck for an exclusive Zoom discussion at 7 p.m. EST. Get the dish behind the book and then order yours for a reader in your life!
Women of UGA presents Cookies & Cocoa with Hairy Dawg—taking place virtually this year. This annual fundraising event on Dec. 6 will feature appearances by Hairy Dawg and other special guests alongside family-friendly activities. Registrants will also receive a box of UGA swag to keep the Bulldog spirit alive throughout the holiday season.
