Kudos

 

Jeff Brudney
Jeff Brudney, professor of public policy and administration, received the Harriet Naylor Distinguished Member Service Award from the Association for Volunteer Administration. The award is presented to an active AVA member who has made “an outstanding contribution to the association.”

Linda Campbell, a professor of counseling and human development services, has been elected president of the American Psychological Association’s Division of State and Provincial Psychological Association Affairs (Division 31).

She will serve a three-year term as president-elect in 2005, president in 2006 and past-president in 2007.

One of Campbell’s responsibilities as president is to promote the interests of psychologists who are represented by state associations and provinces.

William U. Eiland, director of the Georgia Museum of Art, has been appointed to two peer-group positions: vice chair of the board of directors of the American Association of Museums and panelist for the Art and Artifacts Indemnity Advisory Panel of the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities.

Eiland has served on the AAM’s board since 2001. He has begun a one-year term as vice chair for the 3,000-member organization that serves as the accrediting agency for museums. Prior to serving on the AAM board, Eiland served on the boards of the Southeastern Museums Conference and the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries.

Robert Shewfelt
Eiland began a three-year term on the NEA’s Indemnity Advisory Panel in November 2003. He joins a nine-member panel representing museums across the country whose task is to review indemnity applications from U.S. museums for coverage of works from abroad, while those works are on exhibition in this country. The panel’s recommendations go to the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities, which makes decisions on indemnity applications.

Robert Shewfelt, professor and undergraduate coordinator of the food sciences and technology department in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and Kathy Wilson, an adviser in the insurance, legal

Kathy Wilson

studies and real estate department in the Terry College of Business, received the Outstanding Advising Certificate of Merit from the National Academic Advising Association.

Shewfelt is one of 12 people in the nation honored in the faculty academic advising category of the association’s national awards program. The category recognizes faculty members whose primary job is teaching but who spend part of their time providing academic assistance to students. Wilson is one of 15 people recognized in the category of academic advising–primary role.

The National Academic Advising Association has presented awards since 1983 to people and institutions for significant contributions to the improvement of academic advising.

Kudos recognizes special contributions of staff, faculty and administrators in teaching, research and service. News items are limited to election into office of state, regional, national and international societies; major awards and prizes; and similarly notable accomplishments.
