Tate Student Center

The mission of Student Care & Outreach is to coordinate care and assistance for all students, undergraduate and graduate, who experience complex, hardship, and/or unforeseen circumstances, by providing individualized assistance and tailored interventions.

The Intersection is a dynamic space on campus, offering a safe platform for University of Georgia students, staff and faculty to explore issues of social justice.

This builds on UGA's commitment to honoring the identities, perspectives and worldviews of our community in a way that advances social justice and and fosters a community of inclusiveness across campus.

The Engagement, Leadership, and Service (ELS) seeks to deliver programs, services, events and significant learning experiences which strengthen students’ connection to the University, cultivate a sense of community and empower students to be engaged and contributing leaders. Within ELS, students can join and create student organizations, participate in and lead service opportunities, engage with leadership trainings and content and coordinate or attend multiple events.

The Department of Student Transitions within the UGA Division of Student Affairs is dedicated to supporting students through key times of transition during their time at the University of Georgia. Within Student Transitions, students will be connected to campus resources, learn strategies to effectively navigate their collegiate experience, and take part in various transition programming opportunities.

Dawg Camp is an extended orientation program designed to assist students with their transition into the University of Georgia community. These programs allow participants to meet other incoming students and connect with current campus leaders in the spirit of UGA’s history and traditions over the course of multiple days.

Dawg Camp provides a foundation for a successful college experience by exposing participants to student life, exploring common transition topics, and engaging in fun and dynamic activities. This is also an opportunity to develop close friendships and meaningful skills to thrive in the first year of college.

Welcome UGA is a campus wide effort to celebrate and support first-year, transfer and returning students to campus at the beginning of each semester. With fun events, open houses, information fairs and late-night programming, the first few weeks of each semester are filled with numerous opportunities to acclimate to campus, make new friends and start building great memories.
