Seven honorees of the University of Georgia’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2020 earned a degree from the Terry College of Business.
The list includes five Terry alums with an undergraduate degree in business and two who earned an MBA.
The annual list recognizes successful UGA graduates under the age of 40. Nominations were open from February to April, and 374 alumni were nominated for this year’s class. Honorees must have attended UGA and uphold the Pillars of the Arch, which are wisdom, justice, and moderation.
Because of restrictions prompted by COVID-19, there will not be a 40 Under 40 Awards Luncheon this fall. Plans to celebrate this year’s class virtually are underway.
