UGA launches strategic enrollment plan

In a college town like Athens, Georgia, the undergraduate students contribute to the community’s vibrancy. Students serve as volunteers for local nonprofits, work as student-teachers in K-12 classrooms, and contribute to the workforce as employees in local businesses. They’re also critical to the mission and culture of the University of Georgia.

Last fall, in order to support and plan for student life, the university announced its first enrollment plan since 2007. The plan will ensure that UGA’s resources, services and infrastructure support the student population.

“UGA’s competitive advantage is that Athens has one of the best campus environments in the nation,” said Andy Borst, UGA’s vice provost for enrollment management. “UGA serves as a talent magnet, bringing outstanding students, faculty and staff to the community, and Athens is a key draw for them.”
