Arab AmericanWomen's Society of Georgia Cl i ck here for more i nformat i on about AAWSG AAWSG was established in 1985, in Atlanta, Georgia, for the purpose of educating about the diverse Arab cultures. The society offered Arabic language classes for adults and children, participated on annual basis in various educational and cultural events in the city, and presented several arts & culture exhibitions. In 2004, AAWSG became a partner in education with the Alif Institute of Atlanta, Georgia. On annual basis, AAWSG participates in the Atlanta Arab Festival hosted by the Alif Institute. The festival draws thousands of visitors each year. In addition, AAWSG cooperates with the Alif Institute in presenting several other educational and outreach programs.
For many years as a nonprofit educational organization, the ArabAmerican Fund of Georgia (AAFG) provided financial and material support to organized groups, schools, institutions and similar educational and cultural bodies to promote the history and culture of the Arab Middle East. The concept of establishing a comprehensive educational center focused on Arab culture was presented to AAFG. The board supported this unique concept, and in 1999, it established the Committee for the Alif Institute to raise awareness and funding for the Alif Institute project under the tax-exempt status of AAFG. The committee held three successful fundraising events and worked actively on promoting the project. On January 17, 2004, the Alif Institute officially opened its doors to the public as a nonprofit education, culture, arts, and enrichment center with a focus on the Arab culture and Arab- Americans.

To complete survey, refer to email sent 3/24/2023 at 2:20PM titled "Employee Engagement Survey" Click on the link in email Email HR with any questions EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY UNG’s strategic plan features five priority areas, including one focused entirely on enhancing human resources and infrastructure. One of the primary objectives is providing and supporting human resource initiatives that promote a people-focused environment and encourage work-life balance. Last year, UNG employees participated in a national higher education campus climate assessment to determine what employees liked most about their jobs and what improvements they would like to see. To build upon this information and identify ways we can continue to make UNG a great place to work for staff and faculty, we invite your participation in a short survey specific to UNG. Please note, all your responses will be anonymous. We appreciate your feedback and time! SURVEY WILL CLOSE APRIL 7, 2023
