VICE PRESIDENT ENEWS MESSAGES

As you will read below, we are thrilled for the recent major gift (the latest in a series) by Jack and Nancy Fontaine to support the Fontaine Center and alcohol awareness and education at UGA. This amazing commitment will continue to expand the Center’s reach, its Collegiate Recovery Community, and educational programming for our campus and far beyond.
 
I am exceptionally grateful to Jack and Nancy for their continued investment in UGA and our incredible students. Their willingness to take action to address the needs of our community and help us to lead others is truly exemplary.
 
This gift also adds to a record fundraising year for Student Affairs – more than $5 million in pledges to date and counting. At the end of February, Student Affairs became the first unit at UGA to fully meet and exceed its capital campaign goal (104%)—three years ahead of schedule. This is an exciting achievement, but we press ahead with great resolve. When we have ensured that every student has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, regardless of cost, then we can truly celebrate. After all, each and every effort should be for them!
