Just a 20-minute drive down the road from UGA's main campus is a quiet, 109-acre farm that cares for the nearly 50 equine athletes that power one of the nation's most successful collegiate equestrian programs, Georgia Equestrian.

Alongside students from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, student-athletes and farm staff from the UGA Equestrian Complex spend their long days caring and training the elite equine athletes for competitions and happy lives. Their care and dedication has led the equestrian program to 8 national titles in their 25-year history with no plans of slowing down any time soon.

Meet Shriya Garg, a third-year student studying genetics and economics who's passion comes from the power of personal experience.

As a freshman, the opportunity to make policy changes took on a new focus as Garg became more aware of the importance of mental health support on campus. As a first-year senator in the UGA Student Government Association, she proposed a simple idea: adding 988 and other emergency resource numbers to the back of UGA student ID cards.

Her UGA experiences—whether advocating for mental health resources or researching payment reform—have laid the groundwork for Shriya’s approach to working with others. She enters each relationship and tackles policy with empathy and intention.

A partnership program between the UGA’s Office of Service-Learning and the Clarke County School District, the program expands youth sports opportunities while fostering a growth mindset and a love of learning among fourth- and fifth-grade student athletes.

Heat could pose a danger to workers at the upcoming FIFA World Cup, according to a new study from UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

In an analysis of 30 years of weather data from venue host cities, researchers found that many jobs at the event exceeded recommended heat exposure and alert limits, putting workers at risk for heat-related health problems such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

“I had no idea that the Army had social workers. I got the opportunity to combine the two things I wanted to do. A month out of graduate school, I got deployed with my first unit as a combat social worker, and I fell in love with all of it.”

Meet Jeff Yarvis, a 34-year Army veteran who built a career at the intersection of the military and mental health. He is a part-time instructor in the University of Georgia School of Social Work where he teaches courses in military social work curriculum that he and colleagues at the Council on Social Work Education spent years developing.

"Things like study abroad are so impactful and meaningful because they help you think about the application of whatever you’re learning beyond what’s immediately in front of you.”

Designed exclusively for first-year students across all academic areas, Connect Abroad: Discover not only introduces participants to UGA’s international education opportunities but also to a new culture through immersive, hands-on experiences.

While many academic departments might be possessive of their students, the UGA Department of Dance takes the opposite view. The pairing of dance with other academic disciplines is actively encouraged—faculty call it “Dancing Beyond Boundaries.”

They embrace the breadth of a University of Georgia education. Most of the students studying dance are double majors. Their interests spread to engineering, law, business, and so much more. Their calendars are full, but they embrace that, too.
