The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has approved the appointment of Susette M. Talarico to the position

Susette Talarico

of Albert Berry Saye Professor of American Government and Constitutional Law in UGA’s School of Public and International Affairs.
Talarico joined the faculty of UGA’s department of political science in 1977 and was promoted to the rank of professor in 1988. She is the director of the university’s Criminal Justice Studies Program.
“The excellence of Dr. Talarico’s teaching, as well as her many research contributions, make her superbly qualified to serve as the first Saye Professor,” says Thomas P. Lauth, dean of SPIA.
Talarico has twice received UGA’s Josiah Meigs Award for Excellence in Teaching, in 1986 and 1990. She was Franklin College of Arts and Sciences General Sandy Beaver Professor from 1991 to 1994, received the Franklin College Special Sandy Beaver Teaching Award in 1986, was a Senior Teaching Fellow in 1990-91 and is a charter member of the UGA Teaching Academy.
Talarico is the author of The Social Context of Criminal Sentencing (1987), with Martha A. Myers, and Explorations in Crime and Justice (1990) with James L. Massey.
She is also the author or co-author of two dozen journal and law review articles, as well as several book chapters. She has received research grants from the Georgia Civil Justice Foundation and the National Institute of Justice and is the editor of The Justice System Journal, a publication of the National Center for State Courts.
Albert Berry Saye was a member of the political science faculty from 1940 to 1979. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University and the LL.B. from UGA. He was Alumni Foundation Distinguished Professor of Political Science and the first Richard B. Russell Professor of Political Science. He was the author of numerous articles and books in American government and constitutional law.
