Two new UGA graduate fellowship programs have attracted their first cohorts. The Georgia Research Education Award Traineeship (GREAT) and Georgia Impact Now (GAIN) Fellowships are among several enhancements to graduate education in recent years. "It definitely made it easier for me to choose UGA," said doctoral student Preston Basting, left.

More than 10,000 Clarke County schoolchildren will visit the University of Georgia this year through the 5-year-old innovative program Experience UGA. The program brings students from all grades in all 20 schools of the Clarke County School District to the UGA campus for curriculum-centered field trips. 

Jeffrey Q. Martin, an administrator with a proven record of bringing campus and community together to celebrate the arts, has been named director of the UGA Performing Arts Center. For the past decade, Martin has served as the presenter and senior arts producer for the Franklin S. Harris Fine Arts Center at Brigham Young University.
