Established in 1785, the University of Georgia is the first state-chartered public university in the United States.
With a living alumni base of more than 340,000 former students, UGA has a distinguished alumni community of scientists, entrepreneurs, Academy Award winners, U.S. senators, Pulitzer Prize recipients and governors.
