Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Students are at the heart of everything we do at the University of Georgia. Their success, their well-being, and their growth guide every decision, every program, and every partnership within Student Affairs. Our work is defined not only by the services we provide, but by the lives we help shape and the communities we help strengthen.

The past year has shown what is possible when we place students at the center. Thousands have discovered opportunities for leadership, engagement, and service that will carry forward into every chapter of their lives. Students have deepened their sense of belonging, expanded their global and cultural understanding, and given back generously to their peers and to communities near and far. These experiences represent more than moments in time. They reflect the foundation of a lifelong connection to learning, service, and leadership.

This progress has been made possible because of the remarkable people who make up Student Affairs. Staff members across the division give their best each day, whether they are guiding a student through a difficult season, building connections across campus, or creating spaces where every student feels they belong. Their dedication and creativity are the reason the University of Georgia is recognized as a place where students thrive.

This annual report celebrates that shared spirit. It is a story of people working together with purpose and passion. It is a reflection of a university that believes in the potential of every student and is committed to helping each one succeed. It is also a reminder of the lasting impact that comes when we center our work on students and allow their energy, resilience, and vision to inspire us all.
