Tucked in the back of Cedar Street Building B, some of the smallest residents in UGA’s newly renovated Insect Zoo are waiting to meet you! 🪲

Previously, the bugs were housed in a small closet on the building’s fourth floor. After numerous renovations and expansions, the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences decided to move them to a larger space that would allow the public to visit and learn more about these often-misunderstood creatures.

The zoo houses over 50 species of insects and arachnids, depending on the season. Since reopening in April, it has received loads of visitors, hosting up to nine tours per week.

When Joro spiders first arrived stateside over a decade ago, scientists worried the massive black and yellow spiders would gorge themselves on the same bugs as native spiders. 🕷️

While Joros do eat some of the same insects as orb weavers, UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences researchers discovered the Joros preyed on 26 unique species that the native spiders didn’t touch. Native spider species had the same diet regardless of whether Joros were present in the area. This finding suggests that Joros aren’t necessarily making it more difficult for orb weavers to find their favorite snacks.

This summer, the Georgia Ready Summer Institute, UGA’s signature residential program for rising high school seniors, welcomed 50 students from 44 high schools and 30 counties across Georgia, creating a cohort united by academic achievement, curiosity and a desire to make a difference.

Throughout the week, students immersed themselves in programming focused on research, leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation and design thinking. They met faculty researchers, learned about undergraduate research opportunities, connected with current UGA students and took part in workshops built around critical thinking, communication and collaboration.

For undefeated mixed martial arts fighter Madeline Schellman, winning in the ring isn’t just about throwing punches and landing kicks. It’s an equation.

When she got to UGA, she pursued a double major in mathematics and psychology in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences before earning graduate degrees from the Mary Frances Early College of Education—the perfect combination of studies.

In 2020, she took a few boxing classes. Six years later, Schellman is closing out her amateur career and looking for her first pro fight.

Middle and high school students stepped onto the University of Georgia Tifton Campus back in July curious and excited to spend the week exploring new possibilities through hands-on learning.

The camp marked the launch of the Summer Academy Roadshow, a new initiative that brings UGA’s signature Summer Academy camps to communities across the state. Rather than asking students to travel to Athens, the Roadshow brings UGA’s educational experiences to them, expanding access to programs and pre-collegiate learning experiences.

Meet Jeff Dantzler, a UGA School of Public and International Affairs alum, who's journey is a testament to the power of passion, preparation, and perseverance.

Long before he stepped behind a microphone, he was just a boy from South Georgia falling in love with the Dawgs. Now, over four decades later, the boy who grew up listening to the voice of Georgia football radio is preparing to become it.
