Multicultural Program of the Year by the Georgia chapter of the
National Association for Multicultural Education. In addition Bailey

the Counselors for Social Justice.
GA-NAME brings together individuals and groups with an interest
in multicultural education from all levels of education, from different
academic disciplines and from diverse educational institutions and
occupations.
The CSJ ’Ohana Honors awards are given annually by the CSJ
at the American Counseling Association spring conference to honor
individuals in counseling who affirm diversity and advocate for
social justice in the spirit of nine elements of the indigenous
Hawaiian concept of ’Ohana (or “extended family”):
caring, humility, intelligence, generosity, integrity and honesty,
unconditional love, spiritual power, courtesy and courage.
Benjamin G. Brackett, professor
emeritus of physiology and pharmacology, received the 2004 Pioneer
Award from the International Embryo Transfer Society. He is the
third American-born recipient of the award, which has been given
annually since 1982.
The IETS award recognizes a person who was the earliest contributor
to the development of embryo transfer technology and the embryo
transfer industry. The most important criterion is the date of the
contribution, which must be verifiable by scientific publications,
conference proceedings or breed association records.
Lester D. Stephens, emeritus
professor of history, received the Malcolm C. Clark Award from the
editorial board of the South Carolina
Historical Magazine. The award honors the best article published
in the journal during the previous year. Stephens’s article,
“The Literary and Philosophical Society of South Carolina:
A Forum for Intellectual Progress in Antebellum Charleston,”
appeared in the July 2003 issue.
Professor of biological and agricultural engineering Sidney
