Longtime UGA law professor Dan T. Coenen
has been awarded the title University Professor, following
approval by the board of regents last month.
The University Professorship is reserved for UGA faculty who
have had a significant impact on the university in addition
to fulfilling their normal academic responsibilities. The
impact may be in the areas of policy development, teaching,
curricular change, innovative programs or academic leadership.
University Professors are individuals whose actions as change-agents
have improved the quality with which the university serves
its missions. |
