    Cheer

    The University of North Georgia cheer program is a student-led organization that supports the Nighthawk athletic teams by generating crowd excitement and school spirit. Squad members hold great responsibility in the fact that each member is an ambassador to the University and represent the Campus Recreation and Wellness department and campus community. The squad cheers at most UNG basketball games and are also present at many campus and community events.
