Georgia Southern celebrates ‘40 Under 40’ Class of 2024

The Georgia Southern University Alumni Association “40 Under 40” Class of 2024 was recognized at a ceremony on Sept. 13 at the Statesboro Convention & Visitors Bureau. The annual honor recognizes young alumni who have made significant strides in business, leadership, community, educational or philanthropic endeavors.

“Tonight, we gather to shine a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of our outstanding young alumni,” said Ava Edwards (‘19), executive director of the Alumni Association.  “We are so thankful to be gathered here together to celebrate Georgia Southern University, and to recognize the exemplary alumni it has produced. In their success, excellence, character and unwavering values, we find a reflection of the very best within us.

The “40 Under 40” honorees were chosen by a selection committee that reviewed each individual’s professional expertise, achievements, dedication to charitable and community initiatives and their commitment to Georgia Southern.

“Thank you to these remarkable professionals, innovative entrepreneurs, generous philanthropists and agents of change,” Edwards continued. “Their dedication to both their communities and this institution is a testament of their commitment to making the world a better place.”
