Director of Public Safety Asa T. Boynton is the 2000 recipient of the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Award, presented by Security on Campus Inc., an organization founded by Howard and Connie Clery, whose daughter, Jeanne, was murdered in her residence hall room at Lehigh University in 1986.
Howard Clery says the award recognizes Boynton’s willingness to work with a UGA student group to provide statistics on criminal activity both on and off campus. According to Clery, Boynton’s efforts helped lead to passage of the 1990 federal Campus Security Act, which requires colleges to make statistics about crime public.

Associate Professor of Environmental Physics Monique Y. Leclerc was an invited speaker at the national AmeriFlux meeting. The topic of the talk was “Detection and Impact of Local Circulations on Local Vegetation Atmosphere Exchange.”
As a member of the AmeriFlux network, Leclerc spoke about the urgent need to challenge some of the assumptions in micro-meteorology to make more accurate interpretation of vegetation-atmosphere exchange measurements.

Two employees of the UGA Libraries were recognized for outstanding service by the Georgia Library Association.
Glorian Sipman, business bibliographer, was honored with the McJenkin-Rheay Award given to recognize a young librarian who has made outstanding contributions to GLA in leadership. The recipient must currently be employed in a Georgia library and have been employed in a Georgia library for three years, must be a graduate of an American Library Association library school or an NCATE approved master’s program in media education, must have been a member of GLA for at least three years and must be currently a member, and must not have reached her 35th birthday at the time award is presented.
Carol Bishop, stacks supervisor, was one of four winners of the 2000 GLA Paraprofessional Awards. She received $250, a one-year free membership in GLA and a plaque. Bishop was a key component in the successful renovation of the main library, which involved shifting materials from the stacks to an off-site repository while keeping them available for patrons during the project.

Robert C. Wicklein, associate professor and graduate coordinator in occupational studies, was selected as one of six National Fellows by the Technical Foundation of America. In addition to being designated a Fellow, Wicklein received a discretionary scholarship of $10,000 to be awarded to students preparing to be technology teachers.
The foundation is the modern-day successor to the American Technical Society, chartered in Massachusetts in 1898. The publishing division was sold in 1980 and the society became a philanthropic foundation with an estimated value of $7 million.
