Mary Frances Early College of Education units are invited to participate in the College’s annual Welcome UGA events. These gatherings serve as an introduction to the resources and opportunities available in the College and are a great way to engage with our students.
Back on the Block takes place Wednesday, Aug. 20 from noon-2 p.m. at the Aderhold Hall patio. It is open to all College of Education students and typically welcomes 250-300 attendees. Pop into Ramsey, a smaller welcome event for our RamFam, takes place Monday, Sept. 8 from noon-2 p.m. at the Ramsey Student Center Patio (second floor).
Both events are a resource fair-style celebration with food and giveaways. We ask that each unit have at least one representative present at your table throughout the event. Please feel free to bring brochures, flyers, infographics, or other materials to share with students.
Participants will be provided with a table and a small sign. Chairs and tablecloths are available upon request. To confirm participation, please fill out the survey by Sunday, Aug. 3.
