All that UGA has to offer

From a Red & Black article on how graduating in December provides a leg up in beginning careers:

“I am at somewhat of an advantage because when I start in my position in December, I will be one of two people entering the firm that early," she said. "I will stand out in the work force because there is not a wave of candidates coming in with me in May.”

Webb reminded students who are on track to graduate early that they do not have to end their college careers once they reach 120 credit hours.

“If you finish classes early, take a trip abroad and explore other programs,” Webb said.  “If you have time to fill, fill it with all that UGA has to offer.”

That is advice that we fully endorse and echo without reservation: get everything you can out of your university experience (emphasis on universe). That word has been utilized for centuries to describe this educational context for a reason and not a coincidence. During thier time on campus, students are building something magnificently their own and UGA provides as many tools as they need to make the journey as great as they want it to be. 

Congratulations December graduates.
