Whether it’s Homecoming tailgates, Presidents Club receptions, or lectures and awards, our College thrives on the spirit of celebrating together through exciting community events and notable accolades. 2024 was filled with remarkable achievements, all made possible by the involvement and generosity of our incredible alumni and donors. As we reflect on these successes, we’re excited to share some highlights from our Development and Alumni Relations—stories of impact, celebration, and continued excellence.

Presidents Club Makes Lasting Impression

The UGA 2024 Presidents Club Reception, held November 15th, was a wonderful occasion to connect with dedicated alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students whose generous support continues to propel the College of Pharmacy forward.

Established in 1973, the Presidents Club is composed of alumni and friends whose annual support makes an immediate impact at UGA. The Presidents Club recognizes donors who give $1,500 or more each fiscal year. This collective generosity serves as an endorsement of UGA and a commitment to inspire future leaders, advance global research, and improve lives everywhere.

For more information on the Presidents Club and other ways of investing in the College of Pharmacy, contact Kate O’Reilly (706-542-1978), Senior Director of Development. Give today and be part of this impactful tradition!

PharmDawgs Returned Home for Homecoming 2024

The College of Pharmacy welcomed PharmDawg fans from near and far to a memorable Homecoming Tailgate on October 5th, 2024, in the Rite Aid Courtyard. More than 200 faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends joined together to celebrate and renew friendships.

During the event, PharmDawg student organizations showcased fundraising merchandise, allowing attendees to support great causes while picking up UGA Pharmacy gear.Highlighting the event was a visit by Uga XI (Boom), the beloved mascot of the University of Georgia.

The excitement carried on as the UGA Bulldogs faced off against the Auburn Tigers in a thrilling match-up between the hedges at Sanford Stadium. The Dawgs triumphed with a 31-13 victory, and the cheers from Pharmacy tailgate attendees echoed their pride and joy throughout the day.

The success of the tailgate and the Bulldogs’ win over Auburn made this year’s homecoming a proud and memorable celebration of school spirit and camaraderie. It was great to welcome PharmDawgs home!
