GAAME First-Year Fellows
Since 2014, the Georgia African American Male Experience (GAAME) Program, co-sponsored by the University System of Georgia’s (USG) African American Male Initiative (AAMI), has served as a cornerstone of recruitment, retention, progression, and graduation efforts regarding Black and African American male-identifying students at the University of Georgia. To expand upon the program's impact and ability to foster community throughout their first year at UGA, we are excited to offer the GAAME First-Year Fellows Program.
PROGRAM COMPONENTS
