| Equestrian coach Meghan Boenig was co-winner of the Georgia Collegiate Sports Coach of the Year award. In what was not only her first year as head coach, but also the first year of existence for UGA’s varsity equestrian program, Boenig led the team to the 2003 varsity national championship. She also coached the team to a win at the Southern equestrian championships and has played a key role in equestrian’s development as an NCAA sport.
The Career Program offers the NSF’s most prestigious awards for new faculty members. It recognizes and supports the early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars most likely to become the academic leaders of the 21st century. Career awardees are selected on the basis of creative career development plans that effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their organization. Laurie Fowler, director of public service and outreach at the Institute of Ecology and co-director of the Center for River Basin Science and Policy, has been appointed by Gov. Sonny Perdue to serve on the advisory council of the Georgia Land Conservation Partnership. The council will develop a comprehensive land conservation plan that will summarize the need for land conservation, describe and identify the most vulnerable and valuable areas for protection, establish goals for land conservation, and develop and describe strategies for land protection. Included in the plan will be strategies for statewide conservation, community greenspace programs, and state, regional and local partnerships with private individuals, corporations, foundations, land trusts and conservation organizations. J. Kip Matthews, the former coordinator for both career services and information technology at the Counseling and Testing Center, received the inaugural Early Career Achievement Award from the Commission for Counseling and Psychological Services of the American College Personnel Association. This annual award is given “to honor and reward the exemplary achievements of an individual’s early significant contributions to the field of college and university counseling and psychological services.”
