The University of North Georgia (UNG) began its yearlong Sesquicentennial Celebration in mid-August.
The 150th Anniversary web pages offer a schedule of events, historical timeline, digital exhibits, and much more.
A short YouTube video, "Sesquicentennial at UNG," provides an overview of the history.
The institution was founded as North Georgia Agricultural College in 1873. The name changed to North Georgia College in 1929, then to North Georgia College and Sate University in 1996. It become the University of North Georgia in 2012 after a merger with Gainesville State College.
UNG is one of only six federally designated senior military colleges, which also include The Citadel, Norwich University, Texas A&M University, Virginia Tech, and Virginia Military Institute.
