UGA-Tifton campus celebrated their graduates as well as their 20th anniversary of graduating students from the campus. There was an amazing mural unveiling earlier that week that made the South Georgia news!
Dean Place said, "What we hope that this conveys is the strong connection of the UGA Tifton Campus with the University of Georgia at large, and that this place is a very special place and it’s an opportunity for young people to come here to study and to learn about things that are really pertinent and important to south Georgia." You can check out photos from the graduation and alumni BBQ here. |
