From Athens to Austin, Macon to Miami, Savannah to San Francisco
The Regional Development team keeps UGA in touch with its alumni and friends across America. We travel the country to share the news of the university, building and maintaining relationships with donors interested in giving back at the highest levels in the areas they are most passionate about. Our mission is to go wherever Bulldogs are. We help them stay connected to Athens by showing them how their commitment to UGA makes a difference in the lives of our students, faculty and community as we prepare the next generation of leaders.
