Coverdell Center for Biomedical & Health Sciences Athens, Georgia 30602 In the summer and fall of 2018, The University of Georgia implemented a new human resources and financial ERP system to replace various legacy systems which had been in place for more than 30 years and which served as the source for related information published in previous Fact Books. This new system manages all information related to the areas of faculty, staff, and university finances. As with any major system change, reconciling the new system with multiple previous legacy systems presented a number of challenges in this edition of the Fact Book and every effort has been made to maintain reporting consistency with previous years. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our colleagues across campus who have contributed to the 2020 Fact Book by providing data, guidance and support as we continue to expand our knowledge of the potential this new system affords the University of Georgia.
