“These are causes we believe in: Students who have given our country so much should be supported, and entrepreneurs ready to forge their own paths and innovate should be empowered,” Greentree says. “The work that UGA has done in both of these areas is impressive and commendable, and we are proud to help drive that work forward.”
Fiserv continues to explore new ways to support the university in areas such as student veteran support; the UGA Innovation District; entrepreneurship; and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Whatever form that support takes, it will be the latest expression of a partnership that has strengthened UGA, empowered Fiserv, and helped UGA students succeed.
