Every year UGA celebrates its alumni and legacy with incredible events and activities. There is a lot going on in UGA and Athens for Homecoming. You can find information about that here or on Instagram at @ugahomecoming.
Homecoming is a way for AMSA to remain connected to the larger UGA community and remind our members that they aren't just hardworking future doctors, but current UGA Bulldogs!! GO DAWGS!
