Editor’s Note The Building Terry Issue Single-theme issues have been standard operating procedure at Terry Magazine for the past three years, owing to all the newsworthy things that have been happening within the college and to members of the Terry Family. Those special issues include: Terry Centennial Issue (Spring 2012), Students Issue (Fall 2012), Business Learning Community Breaking Ground Issue (Spring 2013), MBA Issue (Fall 2013), Athens Issue (Spring (2014), Women’s Issue (Fall 2014), and the current Building Terry Issue (Spring (2015) that you’re holding in your hands. And looking ahead to the Fall 2015 issue, we will be focusing on young alumni. In this special campaign issue of TM, we profile the people who made it possible for the college to meet and ultimately surpass a private fundraising goal of $70 million for the col- lege’s new Business Learning Community at the corner of Lumpkin and Baxter, plus another $20 million for faculty support and programs. When that $90 million goal was first announced — in the midst of the Great Recession — some observers considered it a stretch. A member of the Terry Dean’s Advisory Council remembers thinking to himself, In your dreams. But Terry dreams big, as Martee Horne likes to say. “I always believed we would be successful,” says Horne, who is executive director of development and alumni relations, “and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our alumni and friends. Their generosity has made the Building Terry campaign a tremendous success!” How successful was it? When Horne stood up to make an important campaign announcement at the conclusion of the 2015 Alumni Awards and Gala event in April, she said, “With your help we have not only met our Building Terry campaign goal, we have exceeded it . by $30 plus million! Final tally as of June 30 . more than $121 million. Dean Ben Ayers says the Building Terry campaign will leave a lasting legacy on the Terry College and the University of Georgia. “The Building Terry campaign has enabled us to greatly extend our outreach to alumni in Georgia and across the nation,” says Ayers. “Our alumni are giving of both their time and their financial resources at historic levels. The campaign has been a source of pride and has enabled us to provide meaningful opportunities for our alumni to connect with the college, as well as build a stronger financial foundation and new state-of-the-art facilities. From all perspectives, the campaign and the Business Learning Community are game-changers for the Terry College and for current and future generations of business students at the University of Georgia.” [email protected] terry.uga.edu 3 Terry Advisory Groups TERRY DEAN’S Boland T.
