The University of Georgia houses several areas for students and faculty throughout campus that prioritize health and well-being. The purpose of the well-being hubs is to be a space for meditation, prayer, gentle movement, teletherapy, creative expression, recuperation, privacy and more, according to its website.

This year, more than 40,000 students applied to the University of Georgia and 6,175 first-year students were enrolled. Despite the high number of applicants, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions recruits high school students year-round to ensure each incoming class comes from all corners of the state.

Six UGA students and four staff members received scholarships and awards during the Black Faculty and Staff Organization’s 2024 Founders’ Award Scholarship Ceremony, held Sept. 30.
