Don't just take our word for it. "My most memorable experience was presenting at the Student Leadership Conference in October 2021. This amazing opportunity opened the door to start the conversation of normalizing diversity within student organizations and to utilize that diversity to create greatness. UGA provided me, a student, the tremendous opportunity to present a training that is so integral to my core values and I will always be so thankful for that unforgettable experience."
