BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (9/8/13) – There is no secret that cigarette smoking can cause a lot of health problems. Knowing the consequences of cigarette smoking, what determines people from becoming a e-cig (electronic cigarette) smoker?
Some people refer to the feeling of relaxation and pleasure that they experience, others say it's out of habit and find it hard not to smoke a cigarette, some go as far as to say it's the sensation of holding a cigarette between their fingers and some people simply have never heard of an e-cig.
An e-cig or vapor cigarette, is a device that is used to substitute an analog cigarette. This device offers the possibility of being able to enjoy smoking without having to deal with actual smoke being released, bad odors and health problems. This device is smoke and flame free, and since the smoke ban was established, smokers are able to savor their e-cig wherever they go.
SurfKY was able to sit down and talk to new owner Sam Freeman of Remedy Vapor located on 2341 Russellville Road Suite 104, in Bowling Green Kentucky about his new store, why he chose to make changes and the perks of becoming an e-cig smoker.
"The way I got started on this, I was pretty much a dissatisfied customer. I smoked for ten years and I was really starting to feel the effects of smoking and I needed a solution," said Freeman. "Someone led me to a shop and the product… and I tested it out and that was the last time I had a cigarette that was about 2 years ago."
Currently around 40% Kentucky adults are smokers. There is no tobacco in these products, it's a vapor based substance that contains nicotine. "You're not actually blowing out smoke, in fact I wouldn't even call it smoking… 'vaping' would be a more correct term for it," said Freeman. "There is still nicotine in it but nicotine isn't what is harmful in a cigarette. It's the tar and chemicals that are put in a cigarette that are harmful. The chances of it causing problems is much smaller compared to actual tobacco smoking because it doesn't have the tar and chemicals.. you start to feel better very rapidly."
Ever since Freeman has quit, he has become more involved with the new and better products. He saw this new product as an opportunity to spread the word of the advantages of e-cigs in his community. "I really wanted to do this for the Bowling Green community, in order to get other people to quit smoking cigarettes, living healthier lives and saving money."
Remedy Vapor has a testing station of 25 different flavors and all the products a new e-cig smoker would need to get started. "Here we have a testing station and people can come in to test out the products, if it works for them… great! I feel like there is something here for everyone. If not, you're not forced to buy anything or forced to go into this blindly."
All ingredients are labeled on the bottles and Freeman provides a description of all his products and offers organic based flavors as well.
Thanks to this new device, the ability for people to socialize has increased. Traditional smoking created a lot of obstacles especially at a social level. "I believe that e-cigs has increased people to socialize even more so than real cigs. You can smoke them inside, while playing cards, video games, etc. also, they are a great conversation starter at a bar or wherever you go," Freeman stated.
E-cigs are innovative and have been able to break the barriers that smokers have been facing over the years. Using this product has given a freedom for smokers to enjoy smoking, and since it's a new product, it has become a conversation starter. E-cig smokers have been able to notice a beneficial change in their breathing and in their morning cough routine, they have more energy throughout the day and even their taste buds and smells have increased.
"There are a lot of things out there that don't work and I have seen this first hand. As a smoker, you should not be scared to try this," said Freeman. "I want people to quit smoking. I know the effects of it. I think every American knows the effects of smoking whether they smoke or not. You can't sit there and say you don't know someone who has died or has become terribly ill from the effects of cigarette smoking. To have this product out there gives people hope and it can make a difference in people lives."

Bob Dylan Releases 'Tempest' Today
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Out today (September 11th) is Bob Dylan's 35th studio album, Tempest -- released 11 years to the day of his critically acclaimed Love And Theft collection. The self-produced set -- once again under his alias "Jack Frost" -- marks the 50th anniversary of his 1962 Columbia Records debut album, Bob Dylan. Tempest closes with a song titled, "Roll On John" which pays tribute to John Lennon with quotes from several of Lennon's Beatles songs, including "Come together right now" from "Come Together" and "I heard (sic) the news today, oh boy" from "A Day In The Life." The album also includes a 14-minute song called "Titanic" about the sinking of the legendary ship.
Although Lennon and Dylan shared a brief, but cordial friendship in the late-'60s, it was Dylan's relationship with George Harrison which bloomed throughout the '70s, '80s, and beyond -- especially with their collaboration on the two Traveling Wilburys albums.
Although Harrison and Dylan dabbled with writing together in the late-'60s, it wasn't until 1988's Traveling Wilburys Volume One project that the two began collaborating in earnest. Harrison recalled that the track "Dirty Work" was a direct result of Dylan's off-the-wall humor: "Bob's very funny, I mean, a lot of people take him seriously, but if you know Dylan and his songs -- he's such a joker, really. And he just sat down and we said, 'Okay, 'what are we gonna do?' And Bob says (imitates Dylan) 'Let's do one like Prince!' (Laughs) And he just started banging away, (imitates Dylan) 'Love your sexy body, woo-oo-oo, baby!' And it just turned, y'know, like, into that tune."

Valencia was established by the Greeks and later occupied by the Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Arabs. A 15th century artistic movement here gave the world spectacular paintings, sculptures, and jewels. Today a "City of Arts and Sciences," Valencia offers visitors remarkable samples of modern architecture, alongside such notable classics as the 13th century Cathedral and Chapel of the Holy Chalice. Built on the site of a mosque which was originally a Roman temple the Chapel contains the chalice which legend says was used by Christ at the Last Supper. For a more historic view, take in the Quart Towers, a former gate of the medieval wall, built in 1444; and Serranos Towers, a former prison surrounded by a moat and built around 1391.

The tour will driving past the city hall, including the old Casa Ensenañza, an 18th-century building, and the New Building, 20th-century construction with a unique facade. Next is La Lonja, the city's Commodity Exchange and Maritime Consulate, built in the 15th century. Typical of the modernist era is the Central Market; planned and built in the first years of the 19th century.
Other notable sights include the Cathedral and Chapel of the Holy Chalice, dating back to the 13th century and built on the site of a mosque which had, itself, replaced a Roman temple. Inside, the Chapel of the Holy Chalice contains the chalice which legend says was used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper.
The tour concludes with views of the Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados, built between 1652 and 1667 and dedicated to Our Lady of the Abandoned, the patron virgin of Valencia; Quart Towers, a former gate of the medieval wall, built in 1444; and Serranos Towers, a former prison surrounded by a moat and built around 1391.

Visitors Who Don't Like Dogs
It's an awkward social situation

I had a friend come for an afternoon visit who was terrified of my pitbull so I offered to put Charlotte in her crate when the friend came to the door with the intention of letting her out as soon as everything settled down and positioning the dog on the couch next to me on a leash.
The friend was too afraid to walk by the crate, as if Charlotte would pull a Houdini, rip the crate apart and sink her teeth in. I realized that was a real phobia--and my friend's visit would be mercifully short.
For most people, keeping Charlotte on a leash close to me works--and dressing her in a feminine pink tutu (really) decreases the threat. She has won most pit bull sissies over, who end up crazy about her.
Good luck. It's tough with family.

I have many guests as I belong to Couch Surfers. Some people didn't realize I had a dog until they got here because they hadn't read my profile properly. For some of them it was a real shock because he was so big and he slept in the lounge where they slept. My attitude was "that's your problem not mine" and in the end he usually one them over with his friendliness.
I have other friends and relatives who didn't like visiting because of him and that's fine. We meet for coffee elsewhere and they didn't stay here. It's not my problem if they don't like a much loved family member.

We have 5 dogs in our house ranging from a very small deaf Jack Russell up to a 70lb pit mix. Most are rescues and one in particular is rather "grumpy" and will only allow certain people to enter our home. If we have people visit we work around the dogs, sometimes they go to a doggie hotel for play weekend, sometimes they go out back with a yummy bone and sometimes they stay home. It depends on the situation and how I can make everyone, human and canine comfortable.

If I have a large group of people, I usually put the dogs in the bedroom. At some point during the evening I usually let them join. I'm sure some don't like it. I haven't ever had anyone say anything. I think they know better.
As far as I'm concerned, if you don't like my dogs, just stay at home. They are more loyal than most people I know.
My very best advice is find friends who have dogs and you won't have to worry every time they come over.

I usually tell people that I don't know before they come over that I have dogs. If they are nervous around them when they get here, I usually give them a Healthy Bones biscuit treat so they can "make friends" with my pet-kids.
I think a little courtesy and consideration go a long way -- I don't necessarily like other people's kids all over me and I can appreciate that some may not love dogs.
I have a new young rambunctious dog. My sister, her kids and I were visiting my dad. I considered it a training opportunity. I kept Esme leashed and near me. I allowed her to approach and attempt to politely greet the non-dog lovers. As it turns out, neither were too interested in each other after all and the afternoon went well.

My dog is a resident of my home every bit as much as I do. If you wouldn't ask me, my husband, a roommate, etc. to leave when you visit, don't ask me to make him leave, either. If you do, one of you will be undoubtedly be leaving...and it won't be the dog.

I try to read all the Hugo winners, because it is a good way to keep up with the authors people are talking about. Not all Hugo winners are worth reading, but enough of them are to make it worth while.
Up to 1994, all the Hugo winning short fiction was reprinted in collections. Those ended. Many, but not all, Hugo winning short stories can also be found in the various Best SF of the Year volumes, which began with Bleiler & Dikty in 1949. At least one "best" volume has appeared every year since then. And Asimov and Greenberg published 25 "best of the year" books that pushed the starting date back to 1939. Before that, there is Damon Knight's Science Fiction of the 1930s, but frankly, except for H. G. Wells, the good stuff begins in 1939, the year Asimov, Heinlein, Bester, Van Vogt, Leiber, and Sturgeon all published their first science fiction stories. A very good year.
The Hugo Awards were first given in 1955 and awards for short fiction have been given every year since then except 1957. There have also been retro-Hugos for 1954, 1953, 1951, and 1946.
I've read all the Hugo winning fiction up to 1994, and have recently starting closing the gap between 1995 and today.

Post subject: Please help me make up my mind!
I have always been interested in learning to program and as a result have flitted between many different languages without actually settling on one, resulting in a very basic knowledge of a few language but not enough to program anything. I would like to be able to master one then move onto the next one if needed. The languages in which I have dabbled are Java, Assembly, VB, VBsctript, C and SQL. When I say dabbled I mean I have read the first few chapters of a reference book, so if you were to show me a piece of code I could probably tell what it was programmed in but not what it does! I realise this question is very subjective but I would like to know from your experience what language you would learn first? Bearing in mind my aim is to contribute to open source software. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I think the most important thing in learning a language is having the motivation. You mention that you're aiming to contribute to an OSS project, so I'd suggest finding one that you have an interest in ( e.g. if you're into photography, nudge wink, go for a photo editor), and learn the language used alongside trying to understand the project's code. That way, you also pick up useful domain knowledge which can be more complex than the language itself.
Contrary to what DM says again (soz), I'd stay clear of C++ as a first language, as everyone uses it in their own particular way which can be confusing for the beginner. IMHO Python would probably be your best bet, followed by C.

I quite agree. Nothing worse than trudging through a load of dull examples that will never do anything useful (for you).
As to language. Personally I'd choose either Java or C#. These are rich, but strongly typed languages that run on virtual machines (freeing you from the the drudgery of memory management). I'd steer clear of scripting languages like Javascript (horrible object paradigm) or Perl (Where producing the most obscure code is seen as some kind of badge of honour). Python is good, but, IMHO, learning a language with "C" style syntax will give you knowledge that is portable to many more languages.
Personally having enormous fun coding Minecraft (Bukkit) extensions (in Java). The expression on the kid's faces when the chicken they hit explodes with the force of a small nuclear device is something to behold.........

If you'd think you could develop a new gaming platform, then yes: too ambitious
But I'm sure developers would welcome your efforts in bug-finding (and -reporting!) to improve their games, or translate it into foreign languages.

I think your first language should be suitable for the type of things you wish to code.
I love coding web apps with php because there's so much open source php code to reuse out there.
If you like making humble games, check out

If you want to get into Android development, Java is good investment.
I'm a little like you, I can't keep mind focused on one language while being enticed by others. I'm currently being distracted by

Quite the contrary. Writing bukkit server extensions is rather straightforward and you can get fun things happening really quickly.
Not actually "contributing", as such. There is a published API for extensions which can be used to modify the server to react to custom commands or handle events differently to standard.

Wrong question.
Ask what Open Source software project grabs your hormones. After that, go find out what language it's written in.
Writing code for something that doesn't get you out of bed is just a yawn.

I like Perl and you don't have to programme in an obscure manner. That said what I think is a strength some look as a weakness and that is the Perl philosophy of "More that one way to do it".
There is a wealth of learning material out there and the O'Reilly books are excellent. "Learning Perl" is a really good way to get programming quickly and being untyped and unstructured means you can get doing the stuff straight away. I remember looking at Java and having to write loads of code for "Hello world!" I found off putting.
Others would look at this another way in that having structure and typing forced on you encourages you to programme better.

I agree that its probably best for you to find a project your interested in and then learn the language that is used in that project.
However, if you just want to learn a language with no real project in mind then I would say it depends on what you want to learn, or what you want to do? For example, if your not too worried about some of the lower level stuff, but would rather create nice GUIs then C# or Java (maybe C++) would probably be the best place to start.
Having said that, I found C++ a complete mess when I first started; I didn't really understand what was happening. But having started to learn C, C++ seems to make more sense and so sometimes learning the lower level stuff can be beneficial. As for C# / Java, I found that they were very easy to use but weren't that flexible sometimes, largely due to the lack of pointers. Hence I found that I was often writing a lot more code than I would have in C or C++ to accomplish a particular task. However, that is definitely task dependent. I also found that with C# / Java I didn't feel I "learnt programming", most likely because they are high level languages, I think. So it does completely depend on what you want to learn/do.
In terms of languages like Perl or Python, I believe they are more scripting languages than programming languages, as I don't believe they use a compiler, they just use an interpreter? But I am unsure so perhaps someone else can clarify that - I've never learnt Perl or Python. If I'm right, then I would say if you want to learn programming, a scripting language probably wouldn't the best place to start.

Lincecum flirts with history, settles for win
Giants ace loses no-no, scoreless-inning streak in seventh
SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum said that he never began considering the possibility of throwing a no-hitter Thursday night."I didn't think I had very good command of my fastball today, which kind of made things erratic," Lincecum said. Picky, picky. Lincecum was in the vast minority in that regard at AT&T Park, where the right-hander stymied the San Diego Padres until Tony Gwynn's single to christen the seventh inning ended the no-hit bid. Lincecum unraveled afterward and didn't even finish the inning, but the Giants prevailed, 9-3. John "The Count" Montefusco's distinction of being the last Giant to throw a no-hitter (Sept. 29, 1976, at Atlanta) remained safe -- at least until Lincecum's next outing. Everybody who watched Lincecum in his final assignment before Tuesday's All-Star Game -- which he just might start -- probably went home feeling more convinced that he'll someday match Montefusco. "With the stuff he has, it could happen anytime," Giants catcher Bengie Molina said. Lincecum still helped himself to nice servings of history. He extended his scoreless-innings streak to 29, third-best since the Giants moved west in 1958, before yielding all of San Diego's runs. Gaylord Perry owns the two longest streaks, 40 in 1967 and 39 in '70. By winning his fourth consecutive start and sixth in his past seven, Lincecum (10-2) joined Matt Cain (10-2) to form the first pair of Giants pitchers with double-digit win totals before the All-Star break since John Burkett and Bill Swift in 1993. Lincecum thus can depart for St. Louis and the Midsummer Classic feeling satisfied. "Looking at the big picture, I made some big improvements," the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner said. "I kept my walks down a lot more than I used to. I was able to go deeper into games. I try to take the positives away and there were a lot of them that I could grasp." Meanwhile, a no-hitter again eluded Lincecum, who maintained a perfect game for 4 2/3 innings two starts ago at St. Louis. But he looked primed to close the deal against the Padres, whom he had dominated in most of 10 previous starts (1.43 ERA). Through six innings, Lincecum struck out eight, faced one batter above the minimum and allowed two balls to be hit out of the infield. Then Gwynn connected with a 1-2 fastball, stroking it out of left fielder John Bowker's reach. Molina explained that Lincecum wanted to jam Gwynn, but the pitch veered outside.
"He missed his spot, but it was still a good pitch," Molina said.
The crowd, which roared for Lincecum after he struck out the side in the sixth inning and when he batted in the Giants' half, serenaded him with another brief ovation.One pitch before singling, Gwynn hit a foul tip that Molina couldn't grab. To do so would have been virtually impossible.
"You can't control those things," Molina said. "Sometimes you catch it, sometimes you don't. You're trying to catch the ball; you're not trying to catch a foul tip."Gwynn sounded happy just to make contact against Lincecum.
"He can locate all three pitches anywhere. And he rarely ever, ever misses up with his changeups," Gwynn said. "If he misses with his location, he's usually OK, because the ball is down. It might as well be a split-finger. The ball just dives. If you've got command of all three pitches and you throw 95 [mph], it makes it a lot more difficult on the hitters."Lincecum insisted that Gwynn's hit didn't leave him crestfallen.
"After I gave up that first hit, it was like it came in the first inning or the third inning," Lincecum said.But the Padres, who trailed, 6-0, when the seventh inning began, sustained a serious enough rally to chase Lincecum and bring the potential go-ahead run to the plate before Sergio Romo, who issued a bases-loaded walk upon entering the game, retired Evereth Cabrera on a comebacker to end the threat. The Giants amassed three homers, an occurrence for them almost as rare as a no-hitter. Molina belted a two-run homer off Padres starter Matt Geer (1-4) in the first inning before Travis Ishikawa and Juan Uribe combined for San Francisco's first back-to-back homers of the season in the fifth. Pablo Sandoval, who finished a close second in the 2009 All-Star Game Sprint Final Vote, contributed a two-run double in the fifth. Uribe, Randy Winn and Nate Schierholtz added eighth-inning RBI singles to seal the Giants' third victory in nine games against San Diego.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Fans hovering around the Giants' dugout for autographs before games usually have to extend down while the players reach up to do the exchange. NBA superstar Kevin Durant, touring the dugout, made it almost an eye-to-eye experience.
Durant, the 6-foot-9 Oklahoma City Thunder forward, visited AT&T Park for the first time while in the Bay Area for Thursday's game against the playoff-bound Golden State Warriors.
Durant was accompanied by Thunder teammate Nick Collison, and both sat in the TV broadcast booth in the bottom of the second inning alongside Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper.
Here are some Durant baseball facts: he played first base as a kid, he appreciates the intensity of Buster Posey, he made even the 6-foot-5 Brandon Belt look short and he admired the Giants' 2012 World Series run.
"You can take some things from them and put them into our game -- how they fought from being down, how they came together as a team," Durant said. "They've been playing on a championship level for a while now."
Bruce Bochy doesn't need a new first baseman, but it turns out he was a big basketball fan growing up.
"That was my love growing up," Bochy said.
Bochy was sure he would make his junior high team, but he was cut.
"That was the end of my basketball career," Bochy said.
As for Durant, he was asked whether he could he hit a curveball.
"I couldn't really hit any ball," Durant said.
Even so, it seems like it worked out for both of them.
Bochy lets Panda rest in series finale vs. Rockies
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy let the warm bat of Pablo Sandoval rest on a warm San Francisco day.
Sandoval is batting .467 (7-for-15) in his last four games, but Bochy did not start his regular third baseman in Wednesday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park.
Sandoval, Bochy explained, is just getting a break.
"More than anything, [we're] being cautious," Bochy said. "Just giving him a breather. It's a good day to put [Joaquin] Arias in [at third]."
While Sandoval has hit safely in six of eight games, Arias is 2-for-7 (.286) in six games this season. Arias made a start at first base against the Dodgers on April 2.

40 Under 40 Spotlight: Lindsey Groepper (ABJ '01)
When Lindsey Groepper (ABJ '01) was a UGA soccer player, she quickly learned the importance of time management.
"Being a student-athlete at Georgia had a very big impact on who I am today. From day one, I had to learn time management and how to prioritize. Each day was a struggle between training, studying and – of course – socializing. I had to figure out the importance of balance at a young age, as well as what it means to be in charge of how you choose to spend your 24 hours each day," Groepper said.
Groepper, who is proud of the balanced and fulfilling life she leads, graduated from UGA in 2001. From 2002 to 2005, she was an account executive with FleshmanHillard in Chicago. In 2005, her husband's job led to their relocating to Indianapolis, Ind., where the alumna responded to a job listing for BLASTmedia.
BLASTmedia Chief Operating Officer Mendy Werne, who nominated Groepper for the 40 Under 40, cites Groepper's key role at the company, saying, "Lindsey was the first employee we hired at BLASTmedia. As a former soccer player at Georgia with experience at a leading PR firm in Chicago, we could only hope her qualities in real life were as good as they were on paper. Boy, were they ever – and much more so. Lindsey is a rare talent. We are lucky to have had her passion and dedication for the past 8 years. She will be an essential part of the agency's future."
Groepper is now president of BLASTmedia. She is responsible for the agency's new business development, fostering relationships with key clients, overseeing client communication strategies, analyzing campaigns in order to maximize ROI and operational efficiency. Between Spring 2012 and Spring 2013, she brought in more than $1 million in annualized new business revenue, including acquiring rapper 50 Cent's new audio brand, SMS Audio, as a new client.
I am impressed by Lindsey's successful career and life balance. I hear that she has a pair of beautiful 3-year-old twins that she is raising while also finding time to volunteer at an assisted living facility in Indianapolis. Impressive! Congratulations on being one of this year's UGA Alumni Association 40 Under 40, Lindsey!

Five questions with wedding planner Maren Clarke White (AB '09)
Maren Clarke White (AB '09) may be Athens-bred, but she is taking the Golden Isles by storm, one wedding at a time. After growing up in Athens and graduating from UGA with a degree in English, Maren packed her bags for St. Simons Island to work with the Sea Island Company's esteemed wedding planning team.
Maren has been with the Sea Island Company for over four years and currently serves as the company's wedding manager. As the wedding manager at this exclusive 5-Star Resort, Maren has the opportunity to plan high-end wedding events for an elite group of clients. Throughout her time at Sea Island, Maren has planned over 200 weddings and events and has worked with celebrity planners and couples. Maren will always hold Athens and her alma mater close to her heart as she is the daughter of Rebecca White, Dean of UGA's School of Law, and Dan White, Director of Production at UGA's Institute of Continuing Legal Education, and sister to Brendan White (JD '11), a 2011 graduate of UGA's School of Law.
Recently, Margaret Sullivan (BSFCS '11, MA '12) had the opportunity to catch up with this outstanding alumna. Read below to find out more about Maren's amazing career.
How did you get into the wedding planning business?
My first job after college was at a boutique hotel, and my favorite part of the job was working on weddings and events. So when I saw the opening for a wedding coordinator at Sea Island, I knew that was the right move for me.
What advice do you have for others wanting to get into wedding planning?
Planning weddings, particularly at a resort like Sea Island, is in many ways a glamorous job. But what many people don't realize about wedding planning is that you must be highly focused, able to pay close attention to detail, be very organized, able to adapt quickly to changes, as well as being able to think creatively and stylishly. And you need to be prepared for some blistered feet from long wedding days!
How did your time at UGA prepare you for your career?
As an English major at UGA, I learned the true strength of written and verbal communication. I have found this knowledge to be vital in communicating with my brides. Every bride has her own vision, and through words we find a way to translate her dreams into reality!
Have you planned many weddings for your friends or other fellow UGA alumni?
We do have a number of UGA alumni weddings, and that is always special to me! While I may not have known some of my UGA brides in college, they become fast friends during the planning process due to having UGA in common with one another! Sea Island's wedding clientele comes from throughout the entire country, not just the southeast.
What's your favorite wedding tradition?
When the groom first sees the bride. It brings tears to my eyes every time.
Reflecting on Freshman Welcome 2014
We recently sat down with the man behind Freshman Welcome, Assistant Director of Student Programs Evan Tighe (BSED '08, MA '11). The following recounts his experience this past Sunday when UGA welcomed thousands of members of the Class of 2018 into Sanford Stadium for this special event.
Last Sunday, I stood on the field of Sanford Stadium and witnessed something incredible.
After 20 minutes of direction from members of the Redcoat Marching Band, thousands of incoming freshmen from the UGA Class of 2018 formed a single entity on the soft green turf; they had formed the revered "Super G."
Thousands of students, from a multitude of backgrounds, hometowns, interests and intended majors gathered in one spot for the same purpose.
Thousands of students.
Thousands of futures.
Thousands of dreams.
One united display of UGA pride.
After the official class photo was taken, I watched the students disperse and head in different directions. It was a perfect analogy, I realized. These students all have their own dreams. They will face their own challenges and realize their own successes. They will declare their own majors and they will decide their own path at UGA.
They will become our society's next generation of doctors, veterinarians, botanists and scientists.
They will be our new businessmen and women, executives, lawyers and political leaders.
They will serve us as teachers, counselors, coaches and social workers.
They will inspire us as poets, dancers, artists and musicians.
They will build for us as engineers, architects, mechanics and designers.
And then, once UGA has prepared them for their rest of their lives, they will reunite once again on the field of Sanford Stadium to throw their caps in the air during Commencement. In a final display of solidarity, they will watch fireworks illuminate the stands of Sanford Stadium, where they cheered on the Bulldogs and sang "Glory, Glory" countless times. They will then go on to do great things in the world.
I am honored to advise a group of 35 students, the Student Alumni Council, who feel the same way. Even though they are not yet alumni, they have already made a monetary gift to UGA through the Georgia Fund.
Each freshman is just a tiny part of that "G." It is only by coming together as a class that they can form the whole symbol. Each individual may only be able to give a little to the university. But together, small gifts build an incredible foundation which will vault the University of Georgia to even greater accomplishments.
UGA may just be one university, but it is our university.
Let's support our students as fervently as we support our student-athletes on game day.
Let's not allow our Georgia pride to cease at the gates of Sanford, Stegeman, or Foley.
Let's show the world what the Red and Black is truly capable of. Make your gift today.
Go Dawgs!
