About the University of Georgia
Since our founding in 1785, the University of Georgia has operated

continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked
among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report.
The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65
miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta,
Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,000
faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's

About the College/Unit/Department
UGA Cooperative Extension was founded in 1914 to bring
research-based agricultural information to the people of Georgia.
County agents and specialists throughout the state share
information on issues like water quality, profitability in
agribusiness, family wellness, and life skills. County agents
provide soil and water test kits and instruction, advice on safe
pesticide use, publications, computer programs, and lessons in
consumer skills to improve Georgians' quality of life. They are the
local experts in food safety, proper eating habits, child safety,
and parenting. UGA Extension coordinates 4-H, Georgia's largest
youth program. Each year, almost 200,000 young Georgians
participate in community projects, summer camps, and conferences on
today's issues while having fun and learning to work together. The
leadership skills and values they learn in 4-H last a lifetime. UGA
Extension reaches more than 2.6 million Georgians through education
programs each year. Millions more rely on UGA Extension's
publications, educational news articles, and public television
programming for advice and information.
