Name: Derek Hammock
Position: Director of Business Operations, UGA Athletic Association
At UGA: 1½ years
Beneficiary of his gift to the university: Institute for Leadership Advancement Endowment (Terry College of Business) and the Georgia Fund
Why he contributes: “I believe a University of Georgia education and its many benefits would not be complete without the impact of private giving. I give back for three main reasons: 1) As a way of saying thank you to UGA for the best college experience that prepared me for life after graduation, 2) to enhance the opportunities for current and future students and 3) to help elevate the brand and value of a University of Georgia education.”
