Dr. Michael Adams, President of the University of Georgia, to speak at HHSOM Convocation

UGA President Dr. Michael Adams

The Hugh Hodgson School of Music is greatly honored to announce University of Georgia President Dr. Michael Adams as its 2013 Graduation Convocation and Awards Ceremony speaker.

Adams, who was named the 21st President of UGA in 1997, will be retiring from the presidency this summer after 16 years of outstanding service.  He will remain with the university as a teacher and writer, and the Hodgson School Community is deeply grateful to have him with us on this very special day.

The event, which takes place on Thursday, May 9, at 7 p.m. in Hodgson Hall, will also feature comments by Dean of the Franklin College Dr. Alan Dorsey, in addition to speakers from both the undergraduate and graduate classes.

Student and faculty performances will round out the evening.  The general public can obtain tickets after May 1 by calling 706-542-2701, or by emailing Edith Hollander at edith@uga.edu.
