Words I use to describe the UGA community are:
Wisdom, service, excellence, spirit, compassion

If I had to offer one piece of advice for incoming students about living and learning in the UGA community, it would be:
Take advantage of the learning opportunities offered at UGA: become acquainted with the excellent faculty and press yourself to grow intellectually.

How is diversity best expressed at UGA?
Members of the UGA community boast a wide range of backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, interests, and areas of expertise. This diversity is well served by the range of academic majors offered, the popularity of study abroad opportunities, and a plethora of cultural programs and events on campus. The effects of this diversity can be observed in classrooms where professors encourage students to think in new, creative ways as well as in the intellectual contributions produced by university scholars. As such, diversity is a boon to intellectual growth at UGA, contributing to deeper understanding, heightened tolerance, and appreciation for the differences of others.
