Since the 1930s, the University of Georgia has set aside a special time each year to recognize the achievements of its students, faculty, staff and alumni. That tradition is known as Honors Week.
Together, the university community celebrates individuals who are helping UGA fulfill its mission through their unyielding pursuit of excellence.
