University of Georgia president Jere Morehead delivers his annual State of the University Address this afternoon: the 3:30 speech, which would normally come in front of a packed house in the Chapel on UGA’s North Campus, will be delivered virtually this year because of ongoing concerns about coronavirus on the campus in Athens. The speech can be heard here.

Today is Founders Day at the University of Georgia, with most of this year’s events taking place virtually: Founders Day marks the anniversary of this date in 1785, on which UGA become the birthplace of higher education in America.

From the UGA master calendar...
