February 1 marks the beginning of Black History Month, a national observance when Americans recognize and reflect on the contributions and resilience of African Americans throughout U.S. history to today. The University of Georgia marks the month with celebrations of those, specifically current and former students, for their brilliance, perseverance, and strength.
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.
Serving University of Georgia students for almost a decade, the Let All the Big Dawgs Eat Food Scholarship provides a fully funded meal plan up to the cost of a 7-day plan. This facilitates improved nutrition, financial stability, and social well-being.
