We are participating in the nationwide UGA “Dawgs Feeding Dogs Campaign” in memory of Uga VI by donating to Bideawee, a resourceful nonprofit organization promoting the health, well being and adoption of pets in need. Click here to make a contribution in honor of our beloved mascot.

Congratulations to Jennifer Sloan ’86 who won a Distinguished Alumni Award from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. Sloan is the recipient of the 2007 Henry W. Grady Mid-Career Award for outstanding success in her career and for her dedication to UGA and the Grady College. This is a very prestigious award and the Association and New York Chapter are extremely proud of Jennifer and lucky to have her in New York.
