CLICK HERE for more information.

Last year the UGA Alumni Association, for the first time, honored 40 remarkable alumni by launching the 40 Under 40 program. These awards are presented to young alumni under 40 who exemplify outstanding character, leadership, and a continued commitment to UGA. All of you work and interact with these types of alumni every day and we want to make sure they are recognized for their career success and community engagement.

Nominations for the second class are now open, If you have someone in mind please fill out the nomination form online.

The nominations close on April 13 and the applications will move through a review process over the summer. The honorees are invited to attend an awards luncheon in Atlanta, will be featured in their school or college publication, and will be presented on the field during a football game.

Thanks for taking the time to give back to UGA and Go Dawgs!
