PREFACE The University of Georgia Fact Book 2002 is a book about change. Contained in these pages are facts and figures that highlight changes at every level of the institution-from senior administration to parking- space assignments. New academic and administrative units have been established and existing ones reorganized. Programs of study have been updated and new academic offerings have been developed. New facilities for instruction, research, and public service have opened their doors, while older ones have been renovated. Ground has been broken and construction begun on the East Campus Village, which will include the first new on-campus student housing in more than 30 years. Concrete and asphalt parking lots have been transformed into beautiful green spaces and pedestrian walkways. And student athletes competed in a new varsity sport. Not all changes were planned, however, and the University endured a continuum of challenges and budget shortfalls. The Office of Institutional Research and Planning was not immune to the momentum of change, specifically the relocation in June to the Bank of America Building and the retirement in October of our director for 30-plus years, David Clements. Recognizing the challenges that lie ahead, IRP renews its commitment to learning new and more efficient methods of providing our services to the institution. Bringing together the pages of the 2002 Fact Book required the input and cooperation of many units across the University community. Their contributions are most appreciated. Special recognition is due the University Printing Department and the staff of IRP for their continued hard work and extra effort on this important project. Everyone involved with this publication has endeavored to provide accurate and up-to-date information, and we encourage your comments or questions. Marsha R.
