Anne Sweaney Innovation Fund

In support of 2020 – 2027 Strategic Goals in Teaching and Learning, the Sweaney Innovation Fund will provide funds to support faculty and students current projects and programs, as well as new programs that are created to meet emerging needs. Upon her retirement in December 2012, an endowment was established to honor Anne L. Sweaney’s more than 30 years of service to the college and UGA.
