The Finance & Administration Diversity Committee Presents:

“Steps Towards Diversity, a journey of selective sites denoting African American contributions at the University of Georgia"

Come take a journey with us by participating in our second annual self-guided Steps Towards Diversity site tour. This tour features nine sites throughout the Athens campus denoting African American contributions at the University of Georgia. Each site contains a QR code that allows participants to learn more about the significance of each location. Each site also contains a word jumble letter; collect all 9 letters to solve the word jumble and be the first of 100 to receive an F&A Diversity Committee gift bag. An ADA-accessible virtual tour is also available.

This tour will be open from April 1 until April 28, 2023. Participants are free to complete the tour all at once or gradually throughout the month.
