Families impacted by diabetes have extra concerns when it comes to transitioning from high school to college- we want to address those concerns!
Join us for a day of information about making the transition to college with a guest speaker, panels of current students, parents, alumni, medical professionals, and campus resources! You don’t have to be interested in coming to UGA to attend the tour- we welcome anyone with intentions of coming to college.
FAQs:
How much is the event?
It is free and includes lunch and a t-shirt.
What year should my child be to attend the tour?
Anyone who is in high school could attend the tour, but juniors and seniors will find our event to be most helpful. It never hurts to be proactive though!
Who all should we bring to the tour?
Parents of the student are encouraged to attend. If you plan on bringing any siblings or friends, we ask that you let us know before signing up as we may ask for a small donation.
Where is the event?
It is in the Tate Student Center, a location near the center of campus on Baxter St. and Lumpkin St. There is a parking deck attached to the building.
How much walking should I expect?
Parking is very close to the event location, and walking will be minimum unless you choose to explore the campus with us after!
What happens at the tour?
You will hear from an engaging speaker, members of Dawgs for Diabetes, have lunch, mingle with various medical representatives and healthcare providers, and then rotate between panels of current UGA students, our parents, alumni, healthcare professionals, UGA representatives, and more!
