Profiles

Carrie and Paton Faletti

“What matters most to us is the students. The University of Georgia gave us so much, and staying connected — through mentoring, supporting scholarships, and alumni engagement — is incredibly meaningful. Seeing students gain confidence, discover their path, and step into their potential has been the greatest gift.”
