Staff Representative Group (SRG)

We invite you to get to know us a little better—our structure, our purpose, and what we may be able to do for you as your staff representatives. Whether you would like to share a story for COEfyi, find a representative to take an issue to a meeting, or suggest a special event to help build community amongst College staff—we’d like to hear from you.

Lunch & Learn Presentations

SRG Lunch & Learn presentations provide a chance for College of Education staff members to gain personal and professional development experiences. Professionals from UGA and the greater Athens community host presentations throughout the year to share their knowledge and expertise to benefit the careers and lives of College employees. The sessions are informal and open to all faculty and staff. They provide a chance for people to casually interact with each other over lunch and discuss issues that are important to them.

Philanthropy

UGA Food Pantry for Students

Food insecurity is a very real problem on our campus, affecting as many as 7,000 students. The Staff Representative Group is conducting an ongoing collection of canned food for the UGA Food Pantry. Donations for students can be brought to the Office of Student Engagement in Aderhold Hall Room 612.

More information about student hunger and opportunities available to help our students can be found on the Let ALL the Big Dawgs Eat Food Scholarship page.
