Pandemic-Induced Eating Disorders: A Discussion With CAPS

Our campus community becomes safer and stronger with every person who is vaccinated against COVID-19.

Martha Dannenbaum has been named executive director of the University Health Center at the University of Georgia after a nationwide search. Dannenbaum most recently served as director of Student Health Services at Texas A&M University.

Students got the opportunity to meet people and learn about their new community

The University of Georgia is now in the second year of a three-year, $8.5 million investment to enhance campus security measures, including the placement of additional lighting and security cameras; the hiring of additional police personnel; the establishment of a nightly rideshare program launched in Fall 2021; and the introduction of a new and more robust smart phone safety app. These recent measures augment nearly $6 million the University has made in safety improvements over the previous five years for a seven-year commitment of over $14 million.

As students gathered around the large mahogany table, leaning in to listen to Dr. Michelle Garfield Cook, one saw the dictionary definition of captivation. Dr. Cook, Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion and Strategic University Initiatives, met on Wednesday, March 23rd with 14 students. The Office of the Dean of Students hosts “Gettin’ Down with the Dean” events where students and a guest speaker meet under different roofs across campus to listen and absorb thoughtful stories found right here in our Athens campus community. To say students were thoughtfully absorbing Dr. Cook’s words is mildly underselling her profound impact. 

The building was modernized for student comfort and energy efficiency while respecting its mid-century design.
