Congratulations to our ABAC students who walked across the stage during the two Commencement ceremonies today. Lawton Bassett, Class of 1988, spoke in the morning ceremony, and W. Brad Phares, Class of 1991, spoke to the graduates and guests in the afternoon ceremony. Alumni Association Vice-President Dr. Carrie R. Crabtree, Class of 2003, congratulated the graduates on their accomplishments and welcomed them as our newest alumni.

Jenna Williams, a biology major from Douglas, received the David and Kim Bridges Award. Jenna maintained a perfect 4.0 grade point average, and her impact extended far beyond the classroom. She served as President of the Student Government Association, President of the ABAC Ambassadors, a Stallion Society Orientation Leader, and was a founding member and captain of the Golden Girls Cheer and Dance Team. She also was crowned Ms. ABAC 2024 and was awarded the J.G. Woodroof Award on honors day. This fall, she will continue her journey at the Mercer University School of Medicine, as she pursues her dream of becoming a physician dedicated to serving rural communities.

The Golden Alumni Reunion was a big hit this year at homecoming. The Classes of 1976 and 1966 showed up in full force, reconnecting with friends, sharing stories, and making new memories together.

ABAC has always been and continues to be a place where relationships blossom and lifelong friendships are formed. "ABAC.... Moore than just an address."

Next year, we'll need a bigger tent!

The Homecoming Alumni Cookout was the largest ever, and we were thrilled to see athletes from multiple decades stop by to visit a true legend, Coach Red Hill.

We loved welcoming the Class of 1976 as they reunited with classmates and made more memories throughout the weekend, 50 years after their graduation.

The relationships. The memories. The education. Moments like these prove that ABAC is "Moore than an address." 💚💛

In the midst of National Blue and Corn Gold, we spotted some ABAC Green during the 98th Georgia FFA State Convention! 💙💛💚

Thank you to all of our wonderful alumni, friends, supports, and future Stallions for visiting Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s booth during the trade show!
