    Hannah Peevy

    UNG gave rifle student-athlete Hannah Peevy many opportunities to work closely with the community through the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). The group regularly took part in service activities, including the Make-A-Wish initiative.

    "Being a part of the UNG community has been the best experience, and it has given me the best environment to foster and develop my dreams," Peevy said. "I appreciate the rich traditional background of blended military and civilian values that characterize UNG. I cannot thank the athletic department, my coaches and professors enough for their continuous support. They have pushed me to break boundaries and accomplish as much as I can."

    Her other accomplishments included:

    • Making either the president's or dean's list each semester
    • Participation in SAAC for three years
    • Selected as Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association Scholastic All-American
    • Received All-Academic Award for UNG Athletics
    • Achieved Gold Level President Honor Roll for Peach Belt Conference for UNG
    • Captain of UNG's NCAA rifle time
    • NCAA Division II National SAAC representative for Peach Belt Conference for three-year term
    • Received Coach JP O'Connor Award for Leadership

    "I chose UNG because of the community, area, and structure of excellence," Peevy says. "I had a 4.0 GPA in high school with AP classes, making me eligible to attend a variety of universities or colleges, but I only applied to UNG because I had my heart set on it. It was home, and it fit me."
