Ailey Gustafson highlights her experience with Arch Society

The Arch Society is a 33-year-old student organization whose members serve as official hosts and ambassadors for the University of Georgia.

“It allows me to have all these opportunities to just serve and interact and intentionally connect with so many people as an official representative of UGA,” she says. “That’s humbling in itself, but being able to be that representation and form connections with people is such an honor.”

Gustafson learned about the Arch Society when she ran for Student Government Association on a ticket with William Redding, a society member. Though her ticket didn’t win the race, she began meeting students from the organization and quickly realized that these were her people.

“It has been like having another family,” she says.
