Kudos
 

Jack Bauerie
Head swimming and diving coach Jack Bauerle will serve as head coach of the U.S. women’s swim team at the 2005 FINA World Championships in Montreal.

The championships will take place July 17-31. The swimmers and assistant coaches for the World Championships as well as the World University Games will be selected at the trials meet, April 1-6, in Indianapolis.

Bauerle has been a part of multiple international appointments through USA Swimming, including serving as head coach for the U.S. women at the World Championships in 2003 in Barcelona, Spain, and as an assistant for the event in 2001 in Fukuoka, Japan. He also was an assistant with the U.S. women’s team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and a personal coach at the 2004 Games in Athens.

Corrie Brown
Corrie Brown, professor and coordinator of international activities in the College of Veterinary Medicine, was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services to serve on the secretary’s advisory committee on xenotransplantation—the transplanting of animal organs into humans. The appointment runs through September 2006.

The committee meets three times a year to make recommendations on the scientific, medical, social, ethical and public health concerns raised by xenotransplantation. Of particular concern is the potential for transmitting emerging diseases in the transplantation process.

Margaret Wagner Dahl
Margaret Wagner Dahl, director of research development and technology alliances, received the Georgia Biomedical Partnership’s Biomedical Community Award earlier this year.

The award recognizes individuals, companies and institutions for important contributions to the state of Georgia’s life sciences community.

Dahl works with UGA research faculty, private investors, entrepreneurs and the Georgia Research Alliance to encourage and facilitate the creation of Georgia companies based on university discoveries and expertise.

GBP develops industry-specific educational programs in life science areas, provides networking opportunities in these fields and facilitates interorganizational research and resource access.

Hugh J. Watson
Hugh J. Watson, professor of management information systems, has been named a Fellow of the Association for Information Systems.

AIS is the leading professional organization for information systems academics, and Watson joins 30 other AIS Fellows from around the world.

Watson helped develop the conceptual foundation for decision support systems in the 1970s, researched the development and implementation of executive information systems in the 1980s and, most recently, began specializing in the field of data warehousing.

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.
