UGA joined with the 11 other Southeastern Conference institutions to launch the SEC Academic Network, a Web site (www.secacademicnetwork.com) designed to promote the academic endeavors of SEC universities. The network has been established by the SEC in partnership with ESPN and member universities.
“A focus on the quality and variety of the SEC’s academic and service endeavors was important to my fellow presidents and me during the negotiation of this landmark contract with ESPN,” said UGA President Michael F. Adams. “The launch of the SEC Academic Network Web site with ESPN 360 is an opportunity for us to tell the story of how our institutions are having a direct and positive impact on this region and the world.”
Developed using technology and coordination from ESPN Digital Media and Origin Digital, the Academic Network will feature content from every institution ranging from research, innovation and economic development to community partnerships, civic engagement and service.
The Academic Network is a component of the SEC’s 15-year television package with ESPN.
