Graduate Education through the Decades: The Impact of Mary Frances Early

Panel Information

General Event

The UGA Graduate School presents a virtual panel with six graduate alumni representing the decades since Ms. Early’s arrival on campus in 1961. They will discuss their experiences and reflections as graduate students at UGA and after. Acknowledging their unique perspectives as African Americans is important in celebrating their accomplishments and furthering our commitment to fulfilling the vision of a more diverse and inclusive campus.
