How will you leave your mark?

"My UGA degree set me on a path for success. But I didn't just want to make something of myself; it was important to leave a mark." 

Morgan Moore (BBA ’13) came up through the foster care system. His experiences instilled a need to give back and a desire to invest in others. Now, Morgan aims to be a motivating factor for other kids in the system.

“I want them to understand that their present circumstances don’t define them or limit the success that is possible to achieve,” he said.


As a UGA student, Morgan came to think of the Terry College of Business as family, and he made it a goal to leave ‘the family’ better than he found it, which he’s doing through a planned gift and continuing monthly support.
