Class of 2023 breaks record
3,377 graduating students from the Class of 2023 donated a total of $112,000 to 500+ funds across campus during the annual Senior Signature class gift campaign. These generous Bulldogs are leaving a legacy of support for generations of Bulldogs to come!
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.

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.
SUPPPORT 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 will open November 1, 2024 and close February 28, 2025. The proposal form will become available here on November 1.
