VALDOSTA — Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø welcomed 223 students into the 1906 Society during the 2022-2023 academic year.

The 1906 Society is a student giving organization that is dedicated to the continued growth and development of Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø through individual gifts from graduating students who want to protect and nurture their alma mater’s tradition of academic, athletic, creative, leadership, research, and service excellence on campus, in the community, and around the world. It was established in 2006, the university’s centennial year.

Membership in the 1906 Society is open to any graduating students who want to help ensure that future generations of Blazers are given the same opportunities for learning and growth that they enjoyed during their time at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø. Donations of any size are welcome. However, graduates are encouraged to give at least $19.06 in commemoration of the university’s founding.

Funds raised by the 1906 Society provide ongoing support to Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø Cares, a program that provides current students with need-based financial assistance to help them overcome any short-term financial hardship they may be facing. Students in need may apply for the funds at any time of the year. The goal is to help students stay in school and continue making progress towards graduation.  

Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø Cares also provides food and clothing assistance through partnerships with Aramark, Second Harvest of South Georgia Inc., and donations from students, faculty, and staff at the university. 

Members of Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø’s 1906 Society wear red and black graduation cords and are recognized during the fall and spring commencement ceremonies.
