“Enrolling in the 2+2 program secured my spot and helped me maintain my academic motivation. Particularly, the program’s focus on community service and leadership aligned with my values. Then immediate engagement with the Career Management Center during my first 2 years of professional work was critical. The support I received was instrumental in enhancing my professional capabilities. I felt really supported by the people who reached out to me on a professional and personal level. Having that UGA community helped me set goals to build relationships and explore more career options.”
