For more than a decade, the UGA New Media Institute has been the creative force behind the official iOS UGA sticker pack for the Georgia Bulldogs. In 2016, an amazing team of NMI students designed and launched 18 stickers for Apple iOS 10 in partnership with UGA Athletics. Since then, the NMI has added more than 40 stickers to the UGA Sticker pack.

Whether you’re in Sanford Stadium or watching from home, cheer on your team with UGA Stickers. The latest edition is available now!

As we celebrate UGA Homecoming this week, we take a look back 50 years to the class of 1976 and a time when Grady College was called the Grady School of Journalism.

It was the Bicentennial of the country, the year that Joni Mitchell performed at Stegeman Coliseum (then called the Georgia Coliseum), the Drewry Reading Room (now the Peyton Anderson Forum) was dedicated, and Scott Cutlip was named dean of Grady. Following are a few more memories from that time.

If you have memories or pictures that you would like to share from 1976, please do so at the link in the comments.
