Fourteen UGA teachers were publicly
recognized for their outstanding work in the classroom at the annual
Student Government Association Professor and Administrator Recognition
Banquet held earlier this month.
Each winner was nominated by a student who had been enrolled in one
of the winner’s classes in the course of the previous calendar
year.
The student presented the award winner to the attendees during the
dinner, explaining why this teacher deserved the honor.
The awardees were selected from a variety of different fields and
levels of experience, from full professor to graduate assistants and
lecturers. The SGA Academic Affairs Committee handled the selection
process and banquet preparation. The banquet is a longstanding SGA
tradition, intended to give the students themselves an opportunity
to thank outstanding teachers in the university community.
This year’s winners were: Marshall Darley, associate professor,
biological sciences; Mark Dawkins, academic director, accounting;
Christine Franklin, lecturer, statistics; Bobbie Friedmann, associate
professor, marketing and distribution; Kenneth Gaver, professor, accounting;
Mark Huber, academic director, management information systems; Holly
Isserstedt, graduate teaching assistant, women’s studies; John
Knox, lecturer, engineering; Thomas Lessl, associate professor, speech
communication; Hubert McAlexander, professor, English; Ray Paolino,
associate professor, drama; Matthew Perri III, associate department
head, pharmacy; James Porter, professor, ecology; and Fran Teague,
professor, English. |
