Supporting the Terry Edge Network
Developing confident leaders and student success
Established in 2016, this signature, student-led community has grown into one of Terry’s most impactful organizations for future leaders. Now known as the Terry Edge Network (TEN), the group will continue instilling confidence, sharpening student leadership skills, and building meaningful relationships. The TEN name pays tribute to the group’s rich past while strengthening its future. Members confidently pursue their academic and professional ambitions, knowing the TEN community is in full support.
Ensuring TEN’s Future
With a history of success has come rapid growth. More than 3,000 students participated in TEN events last year alone. Now recognized as one of the Terry College’s most impactful programs for young leaders, TEN is primed to undergo an important next step: ensuring growth continues with the help of generous donor support.
Additional donor support can ensure stability and ongoing student impact. Your generosity directly supports TEN’s student-chosen pillars of success:

TEN’s Five Pillars
Confidence and Leadership
TEN builds confidence in every member, empowering students to take charge of their growth as leaders and professionals. Our programs challenge and inspire, helping students uncover their strengths, connect with others, and pursue new opportunities.
Alumni Network
TEN takes pride in its strong, engaged alumni network. Students join exclusive events and programs led by accomplished alumni, building valuable connections that last beyond graduation. These relationships strengthen the Terry community for years to come.
Student Community
TEN welcomes all Intended Terry and Terry students—no applications, dues, or barriers. From first-years to seniors, everyone is invited to join events, find community, and support one another’s growth across the Terry network.
Health and Wellness
From our De-Stress Fest to weekly Wellness Tips and events, TEN commits to supporting every student’s well-being. We give students tools to manage stress, build healthy habits, and find balance between academic and personal demands through thoughtful programs and practical wellness guidance.
Service
TEN centers on a strong commitment to service: leading with purpose, giving back, and making a lasting impact. Through initiatives like the Terry Week of Service, TEN promotes a culture of engagement and social responsibility. From disaster relief and The Backpack Project to the UGA Professional Clothing Closet, TEN makes service a core part of leadership and community impact.
