Graduating into history

These five students were among 12 graduates at last December’s Commencement ceremony in Stegeman Coliseum who earned their degrees at the Gwinnett University Center; they were the first graduates of UGA at Gwinnett. All 12 received degrees from the Terry College of Business. Eight of the 12 Gwinnett graduates were residents of Gwinnett County. The other four lived in metropolitan Atlanta counties. The University of Georgia has been providing graduate degree programs and continuing education in Gwinnett County since 1984, when the board of regents first established the Gwinnett University Center. After the center moved to a permanent home at Collins Hill Road in January 2002, UGA expanded its involvement, launching undergraduate degree programs in business, science and education in fall 2002 and adding three more bachelor’s degree programs in fall 2003. A seventh program, in social work, will be added this semester. All are upper-division programs open to transfer students or those seeking a second degree. (Photo by Paul Efland)
