The faculty members were selected from nominations submitted by students. From the initial pool of nominations, members of SGA’s Cabinet selected the honorees based on numerous criteria, including clear articulation of impact and evidence of dedication to the education of UGA students both in and out of the classroom.

“The student body is so grateful for our incredible faculty, and the Student Government Association is honored to recognize some of the finest professors at our institution,” said Houston Gaines, SGA president. “Our faculty continue to change the world with their groundbreaking research while changing lives on campus through mentorship and teaching.”

The Student Government Association is a registered student organization within UGA’s Division of Student Affairs.
