University of Georgia Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
The University of Georgia (UGA) is the largest institution of higher learning in the state of Georgia. Located in Athens, Georgia, approximately 70 miles northeast of Atlanta, it was the first state-chartered university in the United States. Today, it is the largest university of the University System of Georgia, with an enrollment of approximately 32,000 students. The President of the University of Georgia is the head administrator and is appointed and overseen by the Georgia Board of Regents. The University comprises fifteen schools and colleges: The University of Georgia was incorporated on January 27, 1785, by the Georgia General Assembly, which had given its trustees, the Senatus Academicus of the University of Georgia, 40,000 acres (160 km²) for the purposes of founding a “college or seminary of learning.” The Senatus Academicus was composed of the Board of Visitors and the Board of Trustees and the Georgia Senate governed both boards. Portions of the original land grant were sold to raise $7,463.75 by 1798, and on July 2, 1799, the Senatus Academicus met in Louisville, Georgia and decided to officially begin the University. The first meeting of the university’s board of trustees installed its first president, Abraham Baldwin, a native of Connecticut and graduate of Yale University. Before official admission of women to the University, several woman were able to complete graduate degrees through credit earned in Summer school sessions. In 2001, on the fortieth anniversary of their having first registered for classes, the University renamed a prominent campus building in their honor as the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building. The University has seen its academic reputation rise exponentially since Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship program was started in 1993. The University’s long standing landmark, The Arch, a cast-iron representation of the Seal of the State of Georgia, stands sentry between the campus and the city of Athens. The historical practice has been to divide the 614 acre main campus into two sections, North Campus and South Campus. Modeled on Yale University’s Central/Old Campus, UGA’s North Campus contains the picturesque historic buildings—such as the Chapel, Old College, New College, Demosthenian and the Phi Kappa Halls, Park Hall, Meigs Hall, and the President’s office—as well as modern additions such as the Law School and the Main Library. Situated where historic downtown Athens, Georgia meets the campus, the inspiration for the Arch is the arch found on the Great Seal of the State of Georgia. Dividing North and South Campus is the “central campus” area, home of the University Bookstore, Tate Student Center, and Student Learning Center, as well as Sanford Stadium, home of the football team. Further south and east, across East Campus Road, is East Campus, home of the Ramsey Center, the East Campus Village (apartment-style dormitories), and several fine arts facilities, including the Georgia Museum of Art, School of Music, and School of Art (under construction as of 2006). The $43.6 million dollar Student Learning Center (SLC) has been the largest academic building on the University of Georgia campus since its opening in the autumn of 2003. The Ramsey Center is the student recreational and athletic facility located on East Campus at the University of Georgia. See Greek life at the University of Georgia The University of Georgia’s sports teams are called the Bulldogs, and they participate in the NCAA’s Division I-A as a member of the Southeastern Conference. The University has won national championships in football, women’s gymnastics, baseball, tennis (men’s and women’s), golf (men’s and women’s), women’s swimming and diving, and women’s equestrian.
