Madison Jones

Class of 2017

Madison Jones has found that she can combine rigorous academics with service to the community at UGA, and considering she has been a Bulldog fan her whole life, her college choice was a pretty easy one.

“UGA was my No. 1 school. I looked into some other options to pursue athletics, but I couldn’t find anything with the rich history of a town like Athens and the elevated academics of UGA. The English and education departments at Georgia both impressed me and motivated me to attend UGA.”
