  • Auxiliary Services Division University of Georgia Bookstore
    AUXILIARY SERVICES DIVISION UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA BOOKSTORE Summary of Major Accomplishments The University of Georgia Bookstore continued to expand services to the University community in Fiscal Year 2008. In particular, the bookstore focused on how to best meet the needs of non-traditional distance-learning students, as well as those that attend courses at one of the University’s extended campuses. The bookstore continued to provide course materials for the Georgia Center’s continuing education classes, carrying books both in-store and online. In addition, the bookstore’s off-campus location, FTX Bookstore, began providing online fulfillment for the University System of Georgia’s E- core program. FY 2008 marked the first full year that the bookstore handled these additional programs. A major addition to the University Bookstore’s services took place at the new UGA- Gwinnett Campus facility. The Follett Higher Education Group, in cooperation with the Gwinnett campus, designed and outfitted a bookstore to meet the needs of the new campus and its students, faculty and staff. The UGA-Gwinnett Campus Bookstore provides the Gwinnett campus community with many of the same services offered at the main campus, including course materials and textbooks, which are available both online and in-store. The UGA-Gwinnett Campus Bookstore has its own manager who works closely with the main Athens campus bookstore to facilitate the acquisition of book information and materials needed for courses. The University Bookstore also continued to provide textbooks for the growing Griffin campus, which presents its own set of challenges due to its small size and distant location.

Soles August 2018 Accepted by: Robert C. Knoeppel, Committee Chair D. Matthew Boyer Michael Godfrey Mindy Spearman ABSTRACT Intercollegiate athletics are an integral part of colleges and universities in the United States and have been for decades. Large athletic facilities expenditures began in the interwar period, the period between the two World Wars, with widespread construction of on-campus stadiums. Currently, athletic facilities expenditures are experiencing a second nationwide spending spree that began around the turn of the century. This study considers the types of athletic facilities, motivations for those facilities, and financial models used to pay for those facilities at the University of Georgia. The study concentrates on facilities constructed solely or primarily for football during two chronological periods: the interwar period and the 2000-2017 period.

  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.

And behind them somewhere is a framed diploma. And that's the one thing I never had. INTRO MUSIC Podcast Andy Welcome to Second Act Stories, a podcast that looks at people Overview Levine who have made major career changes and are pursuing more rewarding lives in a second act. So since I began this podcast back in March, I’ve always wanted to interview a professional athlete about life after their sports career. And so I was delighted to connect with Kevin Butler, an NFL veteran of 13 seasons from 1985 to 1998. In his rookie season, he was part of Chicago Bears that won Super Bowl XX. So what was life after he left the field? And what was behind his desire to return to the University of Georgia to finally get a degree that had eluded him for 33 years? I traveled to Atlanta and met with Kevin in his study surrounded by awards, photos and football memorabilia. And I sat on a couch with his dog Vinny and had an fascinating 90 minute conversation with the man. Let’s get this started with Kevin Butler’s dazzling football career at the University of Georgia.
