President Jere W. Morehead has directed $25,000 in private discretionary funds to Giving Voice to the Voiceless, an endowment launched by distinguished journalist, author and UGA alumna Charlayne Hunter-Gault and her husband, Ronald Gault.
The new investment of funds will expand a program designed to support and inspire students from across the university to engage in projects that shed light on unattended societal problems and marginalized communities.
“Charlayne and Ron have shown their commitment to the University of Georgia and to amplifying the work of our students through the Giving Voice to the Voiceless fund,” said Morehead. “I hope that this gift inspires others to contribute to this impactful endowment.”
