Nine Grady College alumni to be honored at 2017 Bulldog 100 awards
Nine graduates of the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication representing eight businesses will be honored by the University of Georgia Alumni Association at the 2017 Bulldog 100 awards ceremony in February.
This annual program recognizes the fastest-growing businesses owned or operated by UGA alumni. More than 500 nominations were submitted for the 2017 list.
To be considered for the award, a company must be in business for a minimum of five years, have verifiable revenues of $100,000 or more for the calendar year 2013, and operate in a manner consistent with the Pillars of the Arch and in keeping with the values and image of UGA, according to criteria set by the UGA Alumni Association.
