STUDENT PERSPECTIVE SPEAKER
Hometown: Thomasville, Ga.
Activities and Honors:
• Lead Intern, Student Success and Advising Center
• Presidential Award of Excellence
• Finalist, UGA Student Employee of the Year, 2023
• Top 100, UGA Student Employee of the Year, 2022
• FACS Student Ambassador
• Books for Keeps Literacy Mentor
• Student Affairs Fellow
Why I chose my major: I chose Social Entrepreneurship because I wanted a major that allowed me to combine my love for non-profits and education. This major has four core classes structured around learning about social enterprise and the depth of social problems. This program also allows for the student to choose their own non-profit focus area, so I chose education access and advocacy. Social Entrepreneurship was the perfect major for me!
What I like most about FACS: The people! FACS is truly a community-based college. I would not be who I am today if I did not have all the the FACS faculty, staff and students supporting me along the way.
Post-graduation plans: I will be staying at UGA for another two years. Starting in the fall, I will be working on my master’s in the College Student Affairs Administration Program. Go Dawgs!

STUDENT CHALLENGE SPEAKER
Hometown: Kathleen, Ga.
Activities and Honors:
• United States Army Reservist
• Student Veterans Association (SVA) member
• SVA communications director
• Student Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) communications director
• UGA Army ROTC cadet
• George C. Marshall award winner
• UGA Blue Key Honor Society
• Reynolds Veterans Association Scholarship
Why I chose my major: I believe the food we consume has a direct impact on our overall health and well-being. I also loved the community here and how driven the students are to succeed. Nutritional Sciences also has given me the opportunity to take courses that have provided deeper understanding of medicine and patient care. My major also provides an all-encompassing view of the human body that can’t be recreated with other majors.
What I like most about FACS: I love the community aspect of FACS and the relationships I’ve made with my classmates and professors. You are able to connect and network in many more ways than other colleges because we are a small, tightknit community. I am used to working in a team and FACS has provided that because everyone wants their classmates to succeed.
Post-graduation plans: I will commission as an active-duty medical officer in the United States Army, where I will continue to pursue my dream of being an Army physician’s assistant.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS
The University of Georgia awards degrees with honors to candidates who meet specified standards of academic excellence. Graduating seniors are recommended for graduation with honors on the basis of their overall grade point average for all college-level work attempted. The overall GPA includes all work attempted at the University of Georgia as well as all college-level transfer work attempted prior to or subsequent to matriculation. Respective standards are as follows:
First Honor Graduates
Each student completing a baccalaureate degree with an overall grade point average of 4.0 is designated a First Honor Graduate. The overall grade point average includes all work attempted at the University of Georgia as well as all college-level transfer work attempted prior to or subsequent to matriculation.
First Honors Candidates wear a fourragère (braided cord) on their left shoulder as part of their graduation academic regalia.
Honors Program Graduates
FACS students who participate in the UGA Honors Program may qualify to graduate with Honors, High Honors or Highest Honors. To graduate with Honors, a student must have a minimum 3.3 GPA in his or her Honors courses and a 3.4 cumulative GPA.
To earn High or Highest Honors students have taken at least nine Honors courses and completed capstone coursework, which can include directed research, a thesis, an internship or the completion of three graduate level courses. In addition to the capstone coursework, students who receive High Honors have maintained a 3.5 Honors GPA and a 3.7 cumulative GPA. For Highest Honors, students have maintained a 3.5 Honors GPA and an overall GPA of at least 3.9.
Please note: Because grades for the current semester are not available during the time that commencement programs are being produced and on the day of Commencement, honors designations (including First Honor Graduates) are based on the grade point average earned through the previous academic term. Final academic honor graduates for each semester are selected after grades have been submitted. Final, official honor designations are included on diplomas and transcripts.
Honors Designation Required Overall GPA Tassel Color Summa Cum Laude 3.9 - 4.0 Red, Silver and Black Magna Cum Laude 3.75 - 3.89 Red and Silver Cum Laude 3.60 - 3.74 Red and Black 23

Why I chose my major: I’m convinced I was a budding developmental scientist before I even knew the field existed! As a teenager, I was hooked on The Birth Order Book, I babysat for almost every family in my neighborhood and I participated in extracurricular summer psychology courses. When I received a UGA brochure in the mail, I remember reading HDFS for the first time and thinking: YES! That’s exactly what I want to study!
What I like most about FACS: FACS students and faculty are truly devoted to building awareness of the “science of living well.” I’ve found myself countless times giving mini-lectures to my family and friends about the fascinating and vital information I’ve learned here! We have incredible faculty in HDFS who are committed to supporting us as future family science professionals.
Post-graduation plans: I’m moving to Thessaloniki, Greece to teach English to K-6 students as the Postgraduate Elementary Education Fellow for Anatolia College.

WELCOME
To the Class of 2023, C ongratulations ! Graduating from this incredible university is something you will cherish for the rest of your life.
Today, you’ll join a group of thousands of UGA alumni. I’m excited to welcome you to the FACS Alumni Association.
FACS is a college focused on people. From dietetics to financial planning, each major in this college prepares you to serve others and enrich communities.
While the knowledge you’ve gained here is important, don’t lose sight of the lessons that can’t be found in a textbook.
As a FACS grad, you now know the importance of helping people, serving communities and caring for yourself and your family. As a UGA grad, you know what it feels like to be a student at the time the Dawgs became national champions (again).
You also know the education you received is just the beginning. Use these lessons to go out into this world and share what you’ve learned.
Whatever your next journey is, make sure you take care of yourself, your family and your friends. Don’t forget to engage in your communities and do things that bring you joy.
You are now part of a huge group of alumni who are ready to engage with you! We hope to see you at our events and connect!
As your time as a student ends, remember that Athens will always be home. Although we can’t all stay here forever, you will treasure the moments you get to come back to the Classic City.
This community is never far away. Whether you connect on social media, have coffee with a friend you met here or mentor a student, you can always find a way to remain connected.
We look forward to connecting with you soon!
Congratulations on this amazing milestone, and Go Dawgs!
