Current initiatives
All incoming freshmen at UGA now participate in the First-Year Odyssey, a program launched in Fall 2011 to introduce students to the academic life of the university by putting them in small group seminars taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty on topics tied to their area of scholarship. More than 300 seminars were offered this past fall by faculty from many academic disciplines across campus.
