Make Your Commitment

Celebrate the diamond anniversary of desegregation at UGA by joining The 1961 Club.

Sixty years ago, Hamilton E. Holmes (BS '63) and Charlayne Hunter-Gault (ABJ '63) became the first Black students to register for classes at UGA. Honor their legacy and help commemorate this moment by making a commitment of $60 or more to The 1961 Club.

The 1961 Club is a special group of donors, named for the year of desegregation at UGA, that helps foster undergraduate student success by:

Removing barriers and opening doors for students, regardless of their socioeconomic status
Supporting the mission of UGA Black Alumni to retain students and help them complete their degrees
Increasing the number of scholarships awarded annually through the endowed Black Alumni Scholarship Fund

It all began with their courage. It continues with our commitment.

Member Benefits:

All donors receive the quarterly Black Alumni e-newsletter and a window decal recognizing their proud support of The 1961 Club.
All donors who give $196.10 or more in a given fiscal year will also receive a special lapel pin and a year-end impact report of the gifts to the 1961 Club.
