Fact Book 2015 ® Fact Book 2015 Cover design by Kenneth Storey, Bulldog Print + Design Cover photo by Andrew Davis Tucker, UGA Photographic Services Cover Herty Field opened in the fall of 1891 and hosted the first University of Georgia home football game against Mercer University on January 30, 1892. Later used as a parking lot, the field was converted to a greenspace in 1999. The public plaza sports a large green lawn and a cascading fountain. Bordered by the Law School Library Annex, Moore, Candler and Gilbert Halls, it is a favorite place for students, faculty and staff to relax.

ATHENA manages information related to the areas of Admissions, Student Records, Curriculum, Financial Aid, and Student Accounts. As with any major system change, reconciling the new system with the legacy system 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 2015 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.
