2024 Fall Newsletter
From the Desk of Greg Colson
AAE Colleagues, Students, Alumni, and Friends:
This fall, the UGA Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics continued our tradition of welcoming an outstanding group of new and returning undergraduate and graduate students. Across all four undergraduate majors - Agribusiness, Agricultural and Applied Economics, Environmental Economics and Management, and Hospitality and Food Industry Management -we experienced another year of growth, thanks to our exceptional faculty, alumni support, and the strong job market and career opportunities for our students.
Reflecting the department’s tradition of excellence, both students and faculty received numerous awards and recognitions this semester. While you can read about many of these in our Awards Highlights Section, I’d like to spotlight three notable achievements.
