Connecting Communities across Georgia
The President’s Summer Tour reflects Augusta University’s commitment to serving communities across Georgia through education, research, health care and partnership. Throughout the summer, President Russell T. Keen will visit campuses, health care facilities, community organizations, business leaders, students, alumni and partners to strengthen relationships and highlight the work changing lives across our state.
We invite alumni, students, friends and community partners to attend one or more receptions during the President's Summer Tour and enjoy light refreshments, conversation with university leadership and fellow Jaguar supporters while learning more about Augusta University's growing impact across Georgia.
