The public, including UGA alumni and friends, is invited to celebrate the Bulldog 100 honorees at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis on Feb. 4. The evening will begin with a reception, followed by dinner and the awards ceremony. Registration is open at alumni.uga.edu/b100.
The awards ceremony will feature a keynote address by alumna Debbie Storey, retired executive vice president of Mobility Customer Service at AT&T and author of “Don’t Downsize Your Dreams.” Storey earned a Master of Business Administration in 2006 from Terry College of Business and a psychology degree from UGA in 1980.
While at AT&T, Storey also oversaw the award-winning AT&T University, and the company’s efforts to leverage diversity and inclusion to drive innovation and growth. She serves on the Terry College Alumni Board and Dean’s Advisory Council, the AT&T Performing Arts Center Board and the Baylor Health Care System Advisory Board.
Following Storey’s remarks, members of the Student Alumni Council will lead the highlight of the evening-the release of the final rankings and countdown of the 2017 Bulldog 100.
“The Bulldog 100 Celebration is one of the most important events on UGA’s calendar, and it is an inspiring way to kick off the New Year,” said Meredith Gurley Johnson, UGA’s executive director of alumni relations. “The excitement is palpable during this event and I always leave invigorated by the caliber of those in attendance. They are living examples of the quality of a UGA education.”
