Center for Global and Cultural
Student Engagement

Helping you find your UGA community

WE ARE FOR THE STUDENTS

We want all UGA students to feel seen, understood, and accepted. We believe we each play a role in this endeavor- from making a Residence Hall feel like a home, to feeling cared for at the University Health Center, or being welcomed into a student club.

When we each do our small part of helping everyone feel like they belong, it makes a big difference in our UGA community.

FIND YOUR COMMUNITY

Our goal is to help to make this large campus feel smaller. Whatever you’re interested in or friendships you’re searching for, we are committed to help you find your people at UGA.

LATEST NEWS

Welcome UGA events to kickoff the Fall 2024 semester

Welcome UGA continues its campus-wide celebration into the new year for incoming and returning students. Various departments and organizations hosted not just events, but opportunities to connect with students as they begin a new semester - fostering a sense of belonging for them on campus.

UGA students find connection … and a fresh look 

Even though UGA has many well-being programs, Stinson, a fourth-year majoring in social work from Ellenwood, Georgia, and president of Black Male Leadership Society (BMLS) saw an opportunity for a student-driven avenue to connect black male students with well-being and belonging resources on campus.
