You put in the hours and made the cut. Welcome to the University of Georgia! We’re thrilled to invite you to Freshman Welcome as you launch your UGA journey. Party with your peers in Reed Plaza and then make your way into Sanford Stadium to hear from some VIBs (Very Important Bulldogs), learn game day cheers and traditions, and form the Power G on Dooley Field. For many of you, this will be the last time on the field until Commencement—don’t miss your chance!
Food & Fun
The party starts with free food, drinks and activities like electronic Bulldog-riding and photo booths.
Swag & Spirit
We’ll get you into the Bulldog spirit with UGA cheerleaders, Hairy Dawg, the Redcoat Marching Band and VIBs.
Chants & Class Pics
You’ll learn game day traditions and UGA cheers, and then take a class photo between the hedges!
