Goals
The work of the UGA Latino Alumni Council is guided by the Spanish word unidos, meaning united, which reflects our commitment to bringing UGA Latino alumni together in support of students, alumni and the University of Georgia.
Unidos represents six areas of commitment that come to life through UGA Alumni’s Grow. Give. Guide. call to action. We grow our connection to UGA through engaging programs, initiatives and opportunities that bring alumni together and deepen their relationship with the university. We give by sharing our time, talents and treasures with the areas of campus we are most passionate about, investing our resources in the programs, people and opportunities that strengthen UGA and support its students. We guide by serving as ambassadors, mentors and professional connections who help current and future Bulldogs navigate their educational and career journeys.
Together, we strengthen the bonds among UGA, its Latino and Hispanic alumni, our local communities and future generations of Bulldogs, united by a shared commitment to the university and one another.
