GEORGIA Ctr. Service Plate ~ U of G ~ Don't Miss!

This 11 inch service plate was made for Georgia Center for Continuing Education, a branch of the University of Georgia. Located in Athens, Georgia the center recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Information from the website states:

The Center opened in 1957 with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (through a 1953 grant) and the State of Georgia, and was the second of the "Kellogg Centers," the first opening at Michigan State University in 1951. Today, there are 13 such centers, ten in the U.S., and one each in Costa Rica, Great Britain, and Honduras. In 1984, the Foundation awarded UGA a second grant, part of which was earmarked for programs at the Georgia Center. The grant was matched by the State of Georgia to renovate and expand the Center.

The plate has the name of the school on the black rim with the steps/arch logo in maroon in the well. No maker's mark on this plate, which is in pristine unused condition.

Nice gift for an alumni! Thanks for looking and please see all 3 pictures of this unusual plate.
