Office of the President

Research is integral to the University of Georgia’s mission, and our research enterprise is on an incredible trajectory. Increasing the number of endowed faculty positions at UGA has been a large part of this success. Endowed positions allow us to recruit and retain world-class faculty members who drive innovation and set the standard for excellence in their fields.

Yesterday, the University of Georgia dedicated the newly renovated Cedar Street Building C, marking the completion of Phase I of the Science and Ag Hill Modernization. This milestone brings UGA one step closer to fulfilling a multiyear capital plan to build, renovate, and modernize hundreds of thousands of square feet devoted to research, instruction, and innovation on our South Campus.

I am honored to present to you the 2024 President’s Annual Report. This year’s report highlights the University of Georgia’s remarkable achievements during the 2023-2024 academic year.

As you explore the stories of groundbreaking research, innovative teaching, and steadfast dedication to public service, I hope you are reminded of the profound impact UGA has across our state, nation, and beyond. I am honored to lead this institution as we continue the important work to enhance lives and strengthen communities.

The University of Georgia recently completed a $30 million renovation of the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building, one of the most iconic buildings on our campus. The building is named for Charlayne Hunter-Gault and the late Dr. Hamilton Holmes, Sr., the first African American students to enroll at UGA. We were honored to have several members of the Holmes family in attendance at the very meaningful dedication ceremony that took place on October 4.
