1912 Society

Founded in 1912 as the “School of Commerce,” the Terry College of Business is the oldest business school in the state of Georgia and one of 17 schools and colleges at the first public-chartered university in the country. In order to recognize and honor our most loyal donors, Terry established The 1912 Society — a roster of supporters whose sustained annual gifts of at least three consecutive years has helped the college to transform generations of students into business leaders in the state of Georgia and beyond.

1912 Society Members also enjoy the privilege of being recognized as a member of UGA’s Third Pillar Society.
