Bulldog Bulletin - February
Pick up a copy of Charlayne Hunter-Gault's (ABJ ’63) book In My Place and join us for a free virtual book discussion with this barrier-breaking alumna on March 24. The event will be in partnership with a multiyear community reading program that was proposed by the UGA President's Task Force on Race, Ethnicity, and Community.
UGA's leading thinkers and doers take the stage to embrace bold questions, innovative scholarship, and untold stories as the keys to rising beyond what we think is possible. This event will take place virtually on Friday, March 19 at 7PM. $10 for non-students.
Join us Feb. 22 at noon for a virtual panel discussion with four trailblazing alumni: Christina Swoope Carrere (BS ’11), UGA’s first Black female drum major; Chuck Kinnebrew (BSED ’75), one of UGA's first Black football players; and Mary Frances Early (MMED ’62, EDS ’71), UGA's first Black graduate. Register to hear their inspiring stories.
To commemorate the 60th anniversary of desegregation, we are celebrating the progress we’ve made by hosting a variety of campus events.
President Jere W. Morehead delivered his annual State of the University Address on January 27, reflecting on how the University responded to the past year with perseverance, resilience, and resolve.
