A $1 million gift from Amanda Alston Gregory (BSEd ’69) and Henry D. “Greg” Gregory Jr. (M ’66) of Atlanta established a Chair in the Civil War Era in the department of history. An additional $50,000 from the Gregorys is supporting research in Civil War era studies for graduate students and faculty members, while another $10,000 gift brought distinguished historian Victoria Bynum to UGA this fall to conduct special seminars with students and to deliver a public lecture.

University of Georgia College of Pharmacy student Mallory Nelson has always loved dogs, so it’s not a stretch of the imagination that she’d have one living with her during college. The unusual part is that she’s training Pepsi, a black Labrador puppy, to be a guide dog for a disabled person. The two are pictured with Clodagh Phair-Miller, a student administrator in the College of Pharmacy.
