Athens, Ga. – Six students at the University of Georgia received First Honor Graduation distinctions at the Aug. 4 commencement ceremonies.
UGA began recognizing First Honor Graduates in 1978 instead of designating a graduating senior as valedictorian. The university bestows the honor on students who maintained a 4.0 grade point average throughout their undergraduate studies.
