Our mission is to offer nationally competitive intercollegiate athletic programs which reflect the interests of our students and faculty, the Southeastern Conference, and the people of Georgia, and provide a worthwhile experience for our student-athletes, teaching them the meaning of integrity and ethical conduct, the basic principles of amateur competition, sportsmanship, and the principle of equitable opportunity for all students and staff. We seek to enhance the academic endeavors of the University of Georgia, by helping through our success to attract both promising students and the assistance of private philanthropy, and by providing direct financial support.
