PREFACE This 33rd edition of the Fact Book represents a year of record achievement at the University of Georgia. Fall 2001 enrollment exceeded 32,000 students including the academically strongest entering freshman class in the University=s history. The School of Public and International Affairs and The College of Environment and Design were approved by the Board of Regents in 2001 and are the first new schools or colleges to be established at the University of Georgia in over thirty years. External research funding increased 20% to a record $123 million for fiscal year 2000-2001, and annual fund giving to the University climbed to $7.1 million. University of Georgia athletes captured seven Southeastern Conference and three NCAA Championships in 2001. The year=s achievements were further distinguished by UGA=s rise to the top twenty public universities as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. The purpose of publishing the Fact Book is not only to record the achievements of the past year, but to also document the trend of continued growth and success at the University over time. We believe we have accomplished this goal, and hope you will find the 2001 Fact Book a useful and valuable reference tool. Every effort has been made to provide accurate and up-to-date information, however, should you have questions or comments regarding this information, please let us know. As first-time editor of the Fact Book, I am indebted to the University community for it=s contribution to this effort. Many units across campus were involved in the compilation and presentation of the data contained in these pages, and the help and cooperation I received is truly appreciated. I owe a personal thanks to IRP staff and especially to Debbie Holliday for her help in preparing the final copy for printing and for her continued commitment to this important project. Marsha R.
