The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or "CARES Act," signed into law on March 27, 2020, provides for $349 billion in Small Business Administration (SBA) loan guarantees and subsidies, and additional funding for SBA programs. One new SBA program created by the CARES Act is the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP"). The PPP has the potential to provide significant relief for small businesses, but that relief requires application to the program.
Beginning on March 3 and each following Wednesday at 9 a.m., Career Development and Advancement will host eight students and one attorney over zoom for small group networking over coffee, or a morning beverage of choice. The series, titled 9@9, is designed to create more intimate networking and learning sessions for students. Each session will be about 40 minutes: 30 minutes to hear from the Attorney and then about 10 minutes for questions.
This event is envisioned to be a more informal setting to interact with UGA Law alumni.
Award recipients for Awards Day 2021 will be announced here.
