EnglishWhere to Find UWG News and Upcoming Events
Updated
The University of West Georgia (UWG) publishes both its latest news and its campus event listings directly on the homepage at westga.edu. If you want to know what's happening at UWG right now, the two places to look are the News Carousel and the Upcoming Events section. This page is for prospective students, current students, families, alumni, and community members who want current UWG information rather than general program details.
News: The News Carousel on the Homepage
The homepage features a rotating News Carousel that highlights current UWG stories. It cycles through several slides automatically, and you can control it with the Previous, Next, and Play/Pause controls.
Recent items shown in the carousel cover a mix of institutional, academic, and student topics, for example:
- UWG being ranked the No. 1 Regional University in Georgia for Social Mobility, and climbing into the Top 75 nationally
- A student artist feature tied to A Day to Give West
- A women's golf endowed scholarship from the Law Office of John B. Jackson
- An endowed chair honoring Bob Stone
- Great 100 Nurses Foundation recognition of UWG faculty
- A $60K grant supporting nursing students
A More News link sits below the carousel, which is the entry point for the full news section beyond the homepage highlights.
Upcoming Events: The Events Section
The homepage also includes an Upcoming Events block. From there you can reach the full calendar through the More Events link, which points to:
https://www.westga.edu/calendar.php
The events section also exposes a calendar feed endpoint:
https://www.westga.edu/_z_resources/php/homepage-calendar-fetch.php
That feed URL is useful if you want to pull UWG events into a calendar app or another site rather than browsing the calendar page manually.
Quick Facts You'll See Alongside the News
The homepage pairs news and events with a Quick Facts panel, which gives useful context for what you're reading about:
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Current students | 16,000+ |
| Student-to-faculty ratio | 16:1 |
| NCAA Division I sports | 14 |
| Carrollton campus size | 645+ acres |
UWG also describes itself as Georgia's Fastest Growing Public University, which appears as a headline item on the page.
