Just wanted to get the word out that UGA will be
hosting our annual Colleges in Your Backyard event on Sunday, January
18th. This is a great program for high
school students and their parents to learn about the college admissions process
and discover the post-high school opportunities found in the local area.
Representatives from Athens Technical College, University of North Georgia,
Piedmont College and UGA will be on hand to talk about navigating the college
search. We’ll be sending emails out to
local students and our campus community, but I hope that you will share this
information with your students and parents and encourage them to attend. There is no cost to attend the event and
parking will be free.
