Robert Jones believes the best way to become a great university president is to prepare yourself to become the best professor, scholar, and university community member you can be—by putting in the work.

After earning his master's degree from @UGA_CollegeofAg, he navigated the academic ladder from lecturer to chancellor. Now, he serves as president of @UW where he continues to put in the work to be the best community member—university or otherwise—he can be.

Just 20-minutes down the road from UGA's main campus is a quiet, 109-acre farm that cares for the nearly 50 equine athletes that power one of the nation's most successful collegiate equestrian programs, @UGAEquestrian.

Student-athletes and farm staff from the UGA Equestrian Complex spend their long days caring and training the elite equine athletes for competitions and happy lives, which led the equestrian program to 8 national titles in their 25-year history with no plans of slowing down any time soon.

While many academic departments might be possessive of their students, @UGA_Dance takes the opposite view. The pairing of dance with other academic disciplines is actively encouraged—faculty call it “Dancing Beyond Boundaries.”

Most of the students studying dance are double majors. Their interests spread to engineering, law, business, and so much more. Their calendars are full, but they embrace that, too.
