UGA Marine Institute @ UGA Study Away Fair

ionah on September 19, 2025

The UGA Global Engagement Office hosted a two-day Study Away Fair at the Tate Student Center in Athens on September 16 and 17, 2025. The fair allowed UGAMI to showcase our residential programs, including Marine Biology (Spring 2026), Salt Marsh (Maymester 2026), and Coastal Ecology (Summer 2026), as well as internships available on Sapelo Island. Several alumni from the Coastal Summer 2025 program were present to share their experiences with attendees. The Study Away Fair is an annual event that typically hosts over 50 exhibitors, including UGA faculty programs, international partners, and domestic field study programs. Events like these allow us to broaden UGAMI’s presence on campus in Athens and expand our networks with international institutions that offer similar programs.
