The first Senior Signature plaque was hung in 1991 with just a few hundred signatures. Today, thousands of graduating students make a difference by donating a minimum of $30 to the university. This gift includes a chance for students to designate a portion of the gift to any school, college, department, program, or scholarship that has enhanced their UGA experience.

The deadline to give for all students who graduate in May, August and December 2025 is March 31, 2025! Questions? Email ugasac@uga.edu.

Give to Senior Signature 2025

“I gave to the Student Emergency Fund because I know there are hundreds of students each semester that are unable to pay for unexpected emergency expenses. Giving to this fund is one way I can bridge the gap and support students who may not have otherwise been able to cover future expenses to meet emergency needs.”

Willis TrippClass of 2025 Senior Signature Donor

“This college has given me all the tools I need to become a successful teacher and I will forever be grateful for them. I hope I can give back in some way even though it will never amount to what it has done for me.”

Catherine CraigClass of 2025 Senior Signature Donor

“I chose to make a gift to the Let All the Big DAWGS Eat Meal Plan Scholarship to help alleviate the burden of food insecurity on campus. The dining halls hold a special place in my heart, not just for having the privilege of access to food, but also the never-ending social environment.”

Mohnish MistryClass of 2025 Senior Signature Donor

“As a senior preparing to graduate, having the full circle opportunity to pour into a freshman African American student, which I once was, makes me feel like I took a chance on someone’s future in the same way someone took a chance on mine when I was in that position. By offering me the Black Alumni Scholarship the daunting thought of tuition was minimized.”

Joshua JamesClass of 2025 Senior Signature Donor

“I chose to donate because the English department has been integral in my education at the University of Georgia and I hope students in the future can have a similar experience.”

Kaitlin TesvichClass of 2025 Senior Signature Donor

“I chose to give to Student Emergency Fund because I wanted to help Student Care and Outreach offer assistance to UGA students facing unexpected challenges and ensure that every Bulldog has access to valuable resources in their times of need.”

“I chose this fund because I am a first-generation college student and it means a lot to give back to future first-generation students.”

Franklin T. Smith ’22Public Relations, Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication

“Being a leader in Greek life during my time at UGA has changed and shaped me as a person. I will forever be grateful for UGA Greek life and the leadership opportunities it has given me.”

Haylee Peters ’22Management, Terry College of Business

“As a Black student, I see that the future is bright for all people of color and want to contribute to future successes of those entering after me.”

Julian McElhaney ’22Economics, Terry College of Business

“I chose to donate because without the animal and dairy science department, I would have never found my true passion for the dairy industry or met all of my best friends!”

Ansley Roper ’22Dairy and Animal Science, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences

HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

MAKE YOUR MARK

As a Senior Signature donor, your gift will impact the area of the university most meaningful to you—such as a school or college, causes you’re passionate about, or a campus organization. To say thank you for your generosity, all Senior Signature donors will be recognized on the Senior Signature plaque in Tate Plaza.

CONTINUE THE TRADITIONS

Many of the resources and events you’ve experienced as a student were made possible by previous senior gifts. Through Senior Signature, you’ll give the gift of tradition to your peers for years to come.

SUPPORT THE CLASS GIFT

The Class Gift is a giving initiative coordinated by the Student Alumni Council that empowers each graduating class to make their mark on UGA. Each time a donor gives to Senior Signature, a portion of that donation supports the Class Gift—a grant that UGA student organizations can apply for. Each year’s Senior Signature donors vote to determine which group receives the funding.

Proposals for the 2025-2026 academic year are open from November 1, 2024 and close February 28, 2025.
