Office of the President

Following the conclusion of another outstanding academic year, I want to thank all our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends for continuing to make the University of Georgia one of the best public institutions in the nation. I am constantly inspired by how much we can accomplish together, and I am excited to see what the next academic year has in store for the University of Georgia.

On May 1st, the University of Georgia celebrated the tenth anniversary of Delta Hall, home of UGA’s Washington Semester Program in Washington, D.C. Featuring residential space, modern classrooms, and a premier location just minutes from the U.S. Capitol, Delta Hall has been instrumental in preparing the next generation of public servants and political leaders to tackle society’s grand challenges.

The demand for a University of Georgia education continues to soar, with the institution receiving nearly 48,000 applications for the Class of 2029. This represents an increase of roughly 5,000 applications from last year’s record and highlights the extraordinary momentum we are experiencing as one of America’s top public research universities.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the University of Georgia’s College of Public Health. During the past two decades, the College has become a national leader in the areas of aging, disaster preparedness, evidence-based practice, global infectious disease, and workplace health thanks to the groundbreaking research and outreach efforts of its faculty, staff, and students.
