Dr. Bonita Jacobs, President, University of North Georgia:
This has been another incredible year at the University of North Georgia and we are proud of our faculty, staff and students. Our military heritage, our focus on student success and our rich history dating back to 1873 creates a unique and progressive five campus university.
With over 18,000 students, we continue to enroll an increasing number of high-achieving students who excel in leadership and in academics. And our strong increase in research has expanded undergraduate and graduate research opportunities.
UNG proudly teaches 10 languages and our students study abroad in all corners of the world as we prepare them to live and work in a global society. And with strong support from our alumni, we have increased scholarship funding by over five hundred percent in the last three years.
As we approach the holiday season, we are thankful for the many blessings of the year. We look forward to building on these outstanding achievements. Glenn and I, along with the students, faculty and staff of the University of North Georgia, wish you a joyous holiday season and a happy new year.
