What's going on at UNG?
Office of Alumni Relations & Annual Giving
The Office of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving has been through
quite the transition this year on the Dahlonega campus.

We are excited to share with you that we have a total of three new staff members on our team, and our Alumni Relations team officially moved back to the Alumni House (President's House) on campus. We are thrilled to be back in such a historic building and hope our Alumni will come visit us as often as they can!
The President's House was built in the early 1950's and housed President
Merritt E. Hoag and his family for 16 years. President Hoag's wife,
Ruth Lowry Hoag assisted in the design of the home.

President John Owen and his family resided here from 1970 - 1991. In 1992,
The Office of Alumni Relations took occupancy. In 2011, Alumni Relations moved to the Downtown Office Building and the National Guard moved in.

As of September 2016, we have happily moved back into the beloved Alumni House!

Meet our new team members!
