Sanford Stadium is the pride and joy of the Bulldog Nation! There is nothing like a Fall Saturday in Athens when everyone dresses in their best red and black attire. You can’t miss Sanford Stadium, which is located in the heart of campus directly across from the Tate Student Center, as the place

Making Leaders Education

We will encounter people from all walks of life and it isimperative that we know why this is important and how we can celebrate both ourdifferences and similarities!

Sharing is caring. We learned that in kindergarten. As we GRHO up, we learn how tobetter give back to thecommunity that gave us much of what we have.

Making leaders is much like building a home. There are many facets for the construction of our student leadership. Learning to be a better leader gives us the tools needed to make the world a better place, one improvement at a time.

We first and foremost are the architects of our academics and our worldly knowledge. We must be aware of theresources that we haveavailable in order to make the improvements necessary for a better community.

Growth as a studentleader is a world of limitless possibilities. It is impossible to expect us to evolve drastically overnight so we do itincrementally by making a few little improvements here and there. Also, in doing what we do, we work to make sure that people feel at home in the residence halls. What better way to learn how to turn a hall into a home than by teaching and learning with others?

We will be having fourprogramming tracks, three before lunch and one after. Eachprogram falls within a category from the “Home” diagrambelow. All programs are located on the second floor of the Zell B. Miller Learning Center (MLC). Voting for Top Four Programs will be mostly paper-free! If you have a smart phone, tablet, or laptop, simply go to grho2014.com after each track and fill out the quick form under “Program Sessions.”

Please note: The form will only be live during and five minutes after each track. If you are unable to access it, we will have paper forms available in each room for you. Just fill one out and give it to the volunteer. Top Four Programs and locations will be announced by 2:10 PM on Saturday via the GRHO Website, Facebook, and printed postings throughout the MLC.
