Not everybody knows what it means to Call The Dawgs, but you do. You know how it starts, you know how to bark, but above all, you know what it really means. 

Calling The Dawgs is about celebrating what happens when Bulldogs come together—we reconnect, we cheer, we win national titles—but our potential stretches far beyond Sanford Stadium. When Bulldogs come together, we innovate, we strengthen our communities, we venture into the cosmos and we build a better quality of life—for everyone.

The Hugh Hodgson School of Music Thursday Scholarship Series continues with an exciting concert by the UGA British Brass Band on April 5 at 7:30 p.m. in Hodgson Hall.
