Douglas Anderson, a professor of English, has been named winner of a Foundation Fellowship by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in New York City.
The award, along with support from UGA’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, will allow Anderson to take a year off to complete a book, William Bradford and the Anglo-European Republic of Letters.
During his year-long Guggenheim Fellowship, Anderson, who will be away from the university for the 2000-2001 academic year, plans to visit the Massachusetts Historical Society collections in Boston and the Dutch city of Leiden, where Bradford and others lived before emigrating to America and forming the Plymouth Plantation.

Stuart W. Fors, head of the health promotion and behavior department, received the national Professional Service to Health Education Award for 2000.
The award is presented annually by the American Association for Health Education to an AAHE member with a minimum of 10 years in the profession, and who has demonstrated professional contributions to health education at the local, state or national level. In addition, evidence of service and leadership to the profession such as writing, research, special projects, and health-related community activities must be demonstrated.
Among Fors’s contributions to the community was research he did comparing the re-arrest rate of 404 drunken drivers exposed to a new victim impact panel in Athens-Clarke County with that of 431 DUI defendants who were not. He and a colleague in sociology at UGA who co-authored the report found that the re-arrest rate was 65 percent lower for people who attended the program.

Jane H. Harvey, academic professional in the College of Education’s department of communication sciences and disorders, received the Honors of the Association from the Georgia Speech, Language, Hearing Association. The Honors of the Association were presented in recognition of outstanding performance and contribution to the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology.

Richard Hayes, professor of counseling and human development services, won a Fulbright grant to collaborate with Japanese educators in the development of a school counselor preparation program in Japan over the next two years. He is working with faculty from the University of Tokyo and personnel from their partner schools in Japan this fall.

Thomas E. Peterson, associate professor of Romance languages, received a Contemplative Practice Fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies.

Robert C. Wicklein, associate professor of occupational studies, received the “Teacher Educator of the Year” award by members of the Council on Technology Teacher Education.
