Saehee Chang, administrative specialist in the International Student Life Office, and Daphne Durham, educational program specialist in the Office of International Education, along with Dawn Clemeshaw of Valdosta State University, have received the “Best of Region” award for their training session for foreign student advisers entitled Navigating Rough Waters: Racism and Cultural Transition to the U.S.
They presented the training at the Nov. 9 Southern Regional (Region VII) meeting of NAFSA: Association of International Educators in Asheville, N.C.
The award is given to the one session from the more than 60 offerings that the regional leadership wishes to recommend for presentation at the international conference of the association. Chang, Clemeshaw and Durham will offer the training session again at the international conference in San Diego in May.

James Cobb, professor and head of the history department, is president of the Southern Historical Association.

Richard Fayrer-Hosken, associate professor of large animal medicine, received the Theriogenologist of the Year Award from the American College of Theriogenologists, sponsored by the Monsanto Corporation (theriogenology is the study of reproduction in animals). The $2,500 award was presented during the annual meeting of the College of Theriogenologists in Nashville, Tenn.
The annual award is granted to a board certified theriogenologist for research with a significant ecological impact on the world. Fayrer-Hosken’s research in developing an immuno-contraceptive technique for elephants living in confined nature preserves in South Africa has resulted in saving more than 3,500 elephants since 1996.
