Agenda:

Monday June 2, 12:00 PM - 4 PM

For 24 hours, we’re rallying Bulldogs around the world to celebrate and strengthen the university we love. We’re challenging you to answer the call, donate to any area at UGA, and show the world that nobody supports their school like the Bulldogs.  

Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 27, 2025—Dawg Day of Giving! 

Do you ever feel like you just don’t get enough mentoring? Do you ever feel like you want to talk to someone besides the same old committee? Do you ever feel like you just need a new perspective?
