Judy Greer

OXFORD — For many alumni and supporters of the University of Georgia, the late Dan Magill is the individual most closely connected to the school, having served some 50 years in a variety of capacities, including men’s tennis coach, sports information director and unofficial ambassador. For more than a few Bulldogs, Magill remains the face of UGA.

By the same token, Dr. Judy Greer holds a similar place in the hearts of Oxford College alumni and residents of the city itself. Interestingly enough, like Magill, Greer — who joined the Oxford College faculty as a physical education teacher in 1957, just four years after Emory University began admitting women — made her initial mark as coach of the women’s tennis team.
