Our Partners Make UGA Possible
Our Partners Make UGA Possible
UGA provides an invaluable experience to dozens of young engineers every year, an experience that gives students a unique set of skills that primes them for their future careers.Â
The society can only offer this experience with the support of external organisations and companies. As a university society, our funding and access to facilities can be limited. Every year we rely on the generosity of our partners to make what we do possible.Â
