Milestone: External research funding
tops $100 million
For the first time in its history, the University of Georgia has exceeded $100 million in external research funding during one fiscal year. For the 1999-2000 fiscal year which ended June 30, 2000, UGA received a total of $101.9 million in research awards, grants and contracts. Furthermore, research awards for the first quarter of the 2000-2001 fiscal year are up 66 percent, at $39.6 million.
Ready for PRIME time
An educational partnership that brings together high school mentor teachers, teacher educators and teacher students is not only developing better new math teachers, but is also providing a much-needed impetus for the growth and development of veteran teachers.
