ith a goal of at least a billion dollars, a comprehensive campaign for the University of Georgia can make this great university greater—and sustain it for new centuries of service. This campaign will provide the resources for the University to serve the people of Georgia and beyond and fulfill the institution’s vision of becoming one of the foremost public research universities in the world. Through an inclusive, University-wide effort, vice presidents, senior administrators, deans and key fundraising staff identified what was required to fulfill this vision. The result of this effort culminated in a deep examination of the true needs of UGA. Here is a snapshot of a few of the ways the campaign will transform the University of Georgia.
