Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Experience Officer, Delta Air Lines

The long-standing partnership between Delta Air Lines and the University of Georgia has created innovative learning experiences, talented graduates and employees, and a stronger Georgia.

Delta has supported some of UGA’s most significant endeavors. The Delta Air Lines Foundation made a $5 million gift in 2015 to help create Delta Hall, UGA’s home in Washington, D.C., and invested another $5 million in 2020 to strengthen UGA’s Innovation District and College of Engineering as well as to launch the Student Industry Fellows Program. After UGA announced its School of Medicine, Delta committed $2 million to support the construction of a cutting-edge facility for the school.

“When it comes to UGA and Delta, it’s exciting to say, ‘What’s next?’ I’m always looking forward to more and more opportunities for us to innovate and collaborate.”
