UGA Alumni Weekend
March 21-23, 2019
The University of Georgia is calling you home.
Pack your red and black, sharpen your pencils and call your friends: Alumni Weekend is March 21-23, 2019.
Feel like a student again.
The UGA Alumni Association will host alumni and their family and friends for a special weekend in Athens. The entire weekend is up to you. Attend as much or as little as you want. Stay out late and fuel up with a coffee downtown, or get up early and catch the sunrise from Sanford Drive.
Relive your glory (glory) days.
We want you to re-experience your college years while you’re in town. We’ll kick things off with an Orientation Dinner with UGA President Jere W. Morehead and your fellow “classmates” and we’ll conclude with a Commencement Brunch in the Sanford Stadium SkyClub. In between, you’ll dine like a student in UGA’s newest dining hall, take classes with some of UGA’s most outstanding professors, and have the option to attend campus events such as TEDxUGA, a baseball game, or a musical performance.
Whatever you do: it’s all about you! We’ll help you curate the perfect weekend in Athens so you can relive your glory days on campus.
Alumni Weekend Highlights
Experience UGA Again
Your time on campus was the best four (or five) years of your life. During Alumni Weekend, you can enjoy the classes, the extracurricular events – and the nightlife – without worrying about final exams.
Renew Your Passions
In college, the world was at your feet. You explored career paths and personal passion projects. You had more free time to investigate and ask “why.” Relive this feeling alongside leading faculty members.
Curate Your Own Schedule
Alumni Weekend gives you the flexibility to build your own “class schedule” for the weekend. Have a kid on campus? Take them to dinner! Want to show your spouse your old study spots? Plan a little campus tour of your own. The entire weekend is up to you!
There’s Something for Everyone
Whether you graduated in 1955, 1985, or 2015, there’s something for you and we encourage you to stay in town following the Commencement Brunch to explore Athens and enjoy other extracurricular activities on campus.
Get to Class
We’ve hand-selected a few of UGA students’ favorite faculty members to spark your curiosity and expand your horizons.
We’ll be adding additional classes by some of our finest faculty members each week. Stay tuned.

Other Events
There’s always something happening in Athens, and this weekend is no different. The following activities aren’t a part of our package, but are great ways to enhance your visit.
Dawgs vs. Tigers
The Diamond Dawgs are taking on the LSU Tigers on Saturday and Sunday. Don your red and black, and go enjoy some payback for that loss during football season.
Self-Guided Campus Tour
The UGA Visitors Center was renovated in early 2018 – be sure to stop by to see it while you are in town! While you are there, pick up a self-guided tour map that will ensure you hit all of the highlights during your trip.
Out of the Darkness: Light in the Depths of the Sea of Cortez
Rebecca Rutstein is an artist with an interest in abstraction inspired by science, data and maps. UGA Professor Samantha Joye’s research examines coastal and open ocean environments. This exhibit at the Georgia Museum of Art is a collaboration between the two – shedding light on the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California.
Concert: One Man Star Wars Trilogy
Charles Ross retells the classic trilogy in 60 minutes with no costumes, props or sets. Get your nerd on for this mind-bending performance. The Force is strong with this one.
More events will be added as we get closer to the weekend.
