As the spring 2026 Commencement “Georgia on My Mind” singer, Marianna Baccus, has now become part of a UGA Commencement musical tradition spanning six years.

Earning her degree in music therapy from the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences' UGA Hugh Hodgson School of Music, Marianna learned how to use songs, lyrics and melodies as one-on-one interventions in healthcare settings. Making and listening to music in various forms can aid those receiving care for conditions such as autism or dementia and can improve mental and physical health, Baccus said. She has seen this in action through her clinical work, which she’ll continue at Arkansas Children's Hospital this fall.
