UGA launches new fellows program
A group of business students from the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business will participate in a new program facilitated by the former chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Co.
Doug Ivester, who retired as CEO of Coca-Cola in 2000, will lead discussions with students about business, leadership and goal-setting, college officials announced Wednesday.
The three-day session for eight selected students will take place twice a year at Deer Run, an 18,000-acre plantation in south Georgia owned by Ivester. Students must be nominated to participate in the Deer Run Fellows Program. The first session will be held this spring.
Ivester, who graduated from UGA in 1969 with a degree in accounting, will direct the fellows program as the first Executive-at-Large for Terry College.
