Alum ambassador event at Griffin

The UGA-Griffin campus is home to some great university and Franklin College programs, and allows UGA to serve more students from different parts of the state. In service of expanding these offerings, the Griffin campus is hosting an event with UGA alumni to encourage prospective students to learn about opportunities at the Griffin campus:

[The] inaugural Alumni Ambassador Reception June 27 from 6:30-8 p.m., in the Student Learning Center in Griffin.

UGA alumni are encouraged to invite prospective students to the extended campus event. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about the academic programs available on campus and receive first-hand knowledge about student life from their alumnus host. Refreshments will be served. There is limited seating available, therefore participants are required to RSVP.

"Alumni will enjoy learning more about what the Griffin campus has to offer during this event. We encourage all alumni attending to bring someone along with them whom they feel might be interested in earning a UGA degree," said Jymmyca Wyatt, admissions counselor for the Griffin Campus. "They will be able to meet current UGA-Griffin staff and engage with current students, which is always wonderful."

UGA-Griffin offers undergraduate degree completion programs in general business, consumer economics, microbiology, special education and agriculture to students who have completed at least two years of undergraduate coursework. In addition, the campus offers graduate degree programs in math education, agricultural leadership and workforce education. Two new undergraduate degree programs-interdisciplinary studies with psychology concentration and interdisciplinary studies with sociology concentration- have been added for fall semester through the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, as well as a new student affairs leadership graduate degree program through the College of Education.
