Nancy Juneau’s commitment to the University of Georgia is a way of life, so it’s natural that she would want to ensure that her support will inspire Bulldogs for generations to come.

Nancy is a UGA grad (BSED ’82), a Georgia Bulldogs sports fan and the mother of a UGA alumna. Her company, Juneau Construction, helped grow the campus, building new residence halls on east campus. When she became a UGA Foundation Trustee, she made it her mission to visit every UGA school and college, meeting with every development director to learn about what mattered to him/her and why, then followed those discussions with separate donations in support of each and every one. She and her husband, Les, created Georgia Commitment Scholarships, and she maintains mentoring relationships with the scholarship recipients. “There are so many ways you can make a difference!” she always says.

Underscoring her commitment, Nancy and Les are also members of the Heritage Society; they included language in their will that specifies gifts to the University of Georgia Foundation as part of their estate plans. “Paying it forward and giving others opportunity. This is what is important to me,” Nancy explains. “UGA made it easy and personal.”
