To prepare students to succeed in an ever-changing world, Public Service and Outreach has continued to expand its breadth of experiential learning opportunities, creating hands-on experiences that support the University of Georgia’s goal of unlocking students’ true potential by connecting them to UGA’s mission to serve the state.
In 2016, the University of Georgia became the largest public university in the nation to require each undergraduate student to engage in experiential learning prior to graduation. Today, UGA students have a multitude of choices for hands-on experiential learning opportunities to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that better prepare them for the workforce or advanced study after graduation.
Students are increasingly turning to Public Service and Outreach to fulfill that requirement or gain additional real-world experiences.
