Ramsey Student Center, part of UGA Recreational Sports, is dedicated to providing a wide range of physical activities tailored for the UGA community to combat the stresses of academic life. With a team of 500 part-time student workers and 28 full-time staff, Ramsey Student Center aims to meet the fitness needs of students, faculty, staff, and UGA affiliates in a welcoming and inclusive environment. The center’s mission is to promote healthy lifestyle choices through recreational experiences, fostering the well-being of UGA students and the community.
At Ramsey Student Center, cultural values such as “Ram Fam,” excellence, customer service, and the spirit of recreation are deeply ingrained in the services offered. The center prides itself on providing diverse recreation experiences that cater to everyone’s interests and abilities. Additionally, Ramsey Student Center supports its student staff through a scholarship fund established in 2015, recognizing exceptional leadership and commitment within the Ram Fam community. The annual golf tournament held at the UGA Golf Course contributes to the growth of the scholarship fund, with recipients being acknowledged during the End of the Year Banquet.
Students employed at Ramsey Student Center have the opportunity to apply for the scholarship, which is awarded to undergraduate student employees displaying outstanding dedication and leadership qualities. The selection criteria for the scholarship include maintaining Rec Sports employment through the Fall semester and being a degree-seeking undergraduate student at UGA. By offering scholarships and promoting a culture of inclusivity and well-being, Ramsey Student Center continues to be a vital hub for physical activities and personal development within the UGA community.
