Griffin, Ga. – The University of Georgia Griffin campus will host an inaugural Alumni Ambassador Reception June 27 from 6:30-8 p.m., in the Student Learning Center in Griffin.

Refreshments will be served. There is limited seating available, therefore participants are required to RSVP.
“Alumni will enjoy learning more about what the Griffin campus has to offer during this event. We encourage all alumni attending to bring someone along with them whom they feel might be interested in earning a UGA degree,” said Jymmyca Wyatt, admissions counselor for the Griffin Campus. “They will be able to meet current UGA-Griffin staff and engage with current students, which is always wonderful.”
