ATHENS, Ga. -- The University of Georgia’s Myers Hall, which underwent renovation during the 2002-03 academic year, will be rededicated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov 4. President Michael F. Adams and student residents of the Myers Community will speak before a ribbon is cut. The campus community is invited to attend.
Myers Hall – named for Jennie Belle Myers, a longtime house mother at UGA – opened in 1954. It is also the residence hall where Charlayne Hunter-Gault lived after she and Hamilton Holmes desegregated UGA in 1961; a display of memorabilia related to that time in UGA's history is planned for the lobby.
Myers houses 406 UGA students with 220 slots reserved for freshman Honors students.
