‘Valuable resource’

A new life for Lake Herrick officially begins

By Heather Skyler

heatherskyler@uga.edu

Lake Herrick, one of the most beautiful places on the University of Georgia campus, officially reopened on Oct. 17, creating new opportunities for recreation, research and experiential learning.

Named for Allyn M. Herrick, former dean of the Daniel B. Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, Lake Herrick was commissioned in 1982 as a recreational resource for UGA and the Athens community. It was a popular spot for swimming, fishing and boating for two decades. Campus and community events were held in the pavilion, and the Department of Recreational Sports staffed lifeguards and concession vendors.

In 2002, the lake was closed to swimming and boating due to

water quality concerns but remained open for fishing, walking and birdwatching. Now, thanks to generous support from the Georgia Power Foundation and the Riverview Foundation and the dedicated efforts of UGA faculty, staff and students and members of the Athens community, Lake Herrick has reopened.

“The University of Georgia is grateful to the Georgia Power Foundation and the Riverview Foundation for helping us bring this valuable campus and community resource back to life,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead.

“The Lake Herrick Watershed Restoration Project is an outstanding example of what can be accomplished at UGA with the help of private support.”

Leaders in the Warnell School,

Recreational Sports and the Facilities Management Division at UGA charged an ad hoc committee in early 2016 with developing prioritized management objectives and a phasing plan for physical improvements to the lake. The committee’s five-phase master plan includes recommendations for design, management, water quality monitoring and experiential learning.

The first two phases of the project, which were dedicated at the Oct. 17 ribbon-cutting ceremony, include rehabilitation of the Oconee Forest pond and improvements to the Lake Herrick shoreline. The first phase adds a walking trail and native plants while improving the Oconee Forest pond to prevent sediment and pollutants from passing downstream to Lake See HERRICK on page 8

INNOVATION

University’s new Launch Pad teaches aspiring entrepreneurs what it takes to start a business

By Sara Freeland freeland@uga.edu

The fourth floor of Creswell Hall looks pretty much like your typical residence hall, but the students living here are far from typical. They are all entrepreneurs: risk-takers who want to turn their ideas into businesses.

Many of them already have.

Jared Zengo of Oconee County started a business making art installations out of Rubik’s Cubes, and has sold his art to Oriental Trading Company, which is owned by Warren Buffett’s holding company, Berkshire Hathaway.

Hannah Abdulhaqq, a fashion merchandising minor from Douglasville, started a clothing resale business and has a website to sell clothes.

Alex Deltchev, a chemistry major from Oconee County, started a landscaping business in high school. Now, after following an interest in the video editing software Adobe Premiere Pro, he has a business that creates music videos and Snapchat filters.

These three first-year students are a part of the Launch Pad, a new living learning community created to spark innovation. Students applied to live in the Launch Pad

this spring after being accepted at UGA but before starting classes.

They had to write a brief essay describing their entrepreneurial goals and share stories about their own startups, if applicable. The group—14 men and 12 women—represents a wide cross section of campus. Many of them are engineering and STEM majors.

Zengo signed up for the program because he was interested in both business and computer science. He’s majoring in computer science but using the Launch Pad entrepreneurship program to learn See INNOVATION on page 8

The University of Georgia celebrated the life and achievements of Mary Frances Early, the first African American to earn a degree from the University of Georgia, by unveiling her portrait in the Administration Building at a ceremony on Oct. 10.

The portrait, by artist Richard Wilson, was installed in The Gordon Jones Gallery of the Administration Building to honor Early, who went on to become the director of music for Atlanta

Public Schools and the first African American president of the Georgia Music Educators Association in 1981.

“Ms. Early is a distinguished educator, and it is clear that she has made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals,” President Jere W. Morehead said at the ceremony. “Her portrait will serve as a lasting tribute to her dignified courage and her commitment to educational excellence.”

Early saw the finished portrait for the first time at the ceremony, and she was obviously pleased.

SCHOOL OF LAW

School of Law ranked best in nation for return on investment

By Heidi Murphy

hmurphy@uga.edu

The University of Georgia School of Law has been named the best value in legal education in the U.S. by the National Jurist.

Its rankings are based largely upon outcome-driven factors such as average indebtedness, bar passage and employment.

“This recognition validates our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible return on investment for our students,” School of Law Dean Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge said. “We are committed to providing world-class education in a way that not only prepares students for careers and helps place them in jobs, but also allows them to graduate without the burden of an unreasonable level of debt.”

In recent years, the law school

has implemented a three-pronged strategy in pursuit of its return-oninvestment vision—holding tuition essentially flat, taking a disciplined approach to spending and increasing student financial aid through scholarships funded by donors. As a result, student borrowing has declined by about $1 million annually, and nearly 70 percent of the Class of 2021 received some kind of merit scholarship, with first-generation college graduates and military veterans among those receiving assistance.

“Throughout the country, commentators express concerns about the future of higher education including the seemingly unbreakable cost curve,” Rutledge said. “Our law school’s record demonstrates how to bend that curve, if not break it, for the benefit of our students.

Campaign for Charities shapes futures by giving back to local community

By Krista Richmond krichmond@uga.edu

From now until Dec. 7, UGA faculty and staff have the opportunity to help create an even stronger community through the 2019 Campaign for Charities.

“The Campaign for Charities is a great opportunity for all UGA staff and faculty to come together around an event that benefits the local Athens community as well as the larger state,” said Denise Spangler, dean of the College of Education and honorary chair of the campaign.

The theme for this year’s campaign, which provides faculty and staff an opportunity to donate to more than 1,100 charitable organizations that are part of the State Charitable Contributions Program, is “Shaping Our Future Through Giving.”

“There are a wide variety of charities from which to choose, so you can select one that speaks to you personally,” Spangler said. “From providing books for young children, to providing health care to the underserved, to offering shelter and food to our neediest neighbors, to supporting research to cure life-threatening diseases, the Campaign for Charities benefits organizations across the state.”

For 18 consecutive years, UGA has been awarded the Governor’s Cup for the highest contribution per employee of a state organization with at least 9,000 employees. To build upon this past success, the goal of this year’s campaign is to raise $400,000 with 15 percent of faculty and staff participating.

“UGA has historically been very generous, contributing nearly $400,000 to charities last year,” Spangler said. “We hope to grow that tradition this year by increasing both the amount we donate and the percentage of employees who make a donation.”

United Way of Northeast Georgia is just one of the nonprofits shaping this community’s future.

“We really want to say thank you to all the UGA employees who contribute as part of the Campaign for Charities,” said Gerry Taylor, vice president for resource development at United Way of Northeast Georgia. “Your contributions both in time and dollars are appreciated and go to the betterment of thousands of citizens in our Northeast Georgia area.”

All of the organizations, agencies and programs at United Way of Northeast Georgia fall under three issue areas: education, financial stability and health.

Contributions to United Way of Northeast Georgia helped provide 81,000 meals to families and older adults with food insecurities and support 36,000 children with after-school and summer programming. In addition, approximately 7,000 underinsured and uninsured adults and children received primary and dental health care, and more than 8,000 calls were answered by United Way of Northeast Georgia’s 2-1-1 program, which closes the gap between those in need and those with the resources to meet that need by connecting individuals or families with the right agency.

Athens Community Council on Aging is another nonprofit benefiting from the Campaign for Charities.

“For more than 50 years, the Athens Community Council on Aging has been known for providing highquality services that engage, support and celebrate living well and aging well,” said Erin Beasley, ACCA’s director of operations. “The quality and scope of our programming are directly tied to charitable giving. Each dollar the UGA Campaign for Charities donates allow us to secure $9 in federal, state and local funding. Your donations provide meals, health and wellness programming and support for family caregivers.”

All UGA employees will receive information about this year’s campaign through their unit’s Campaign Captains. Faculty and staff are encouraged to return the pledge card via campus mail or make a pledge online at http://charities.uga.edu.

Donations are anonymous.

As an added incentive, there will be a series of weekly drawings for prizes in November among those who submit pledge forms or pledge electronically, whether or not a donation is made.

Prizes include tickets to UGA athletic events, bookstore gift cards, a football signed by UGA football head coach Kirby Smart and free parking. Follow the campaign on Facebook, where winners will be announced.

For any questions, contact the budget office at 706-542-2802 or budgets@uga.edu.

PORTRAIT

from page 1

“It’s very beautifully done as you can see, because it looks better than me,” she said, drawing appreciative laughter from the audience. “It always means so much to have the support of so many.

“During my two years here,” Early continued, referring to her time attending UGA, “I couldn’t have imagined anything like this happening in my wildest dreams. I am so delighted that a part of me will be here after I’m gone.

When people see this portrait, they will know that something important happened here.”

The installation of Early’s portrait is part of a series of accolades celebrating her life and career. In January 2018, Early received one of UGA’s highest honors, the President’s Medal. On Sept. 11, the documentary Mary Frances Early: The Quiet Trailblazer premiered in Atlanta.

A native of Atlanta, Early came to UGA in the summer of 1961. Earlier that year, Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes became the first African American students to enroll at UGA. Early had started postgraduate work at the University of Michigan when she transferred to UGA to complete her studies. She became the first African ­American to earn a degree from the University of Georgia when she graduated on Aug. 16, 1962, with a master’s degree in music education.

She returned in 1964 to continue her education, earning a Specialist in Education degree in 1967.

Early, who was class valedictorian at Henry McNeal Turner High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in music education from Clark Atlanta University in 1957, became a music teacher in the Atlanta Public Schools and was eventually promoted to music director of the entire school system.

Early worked with teachers in the system’s 100-plus schools and was in charge of the music curriculum, budget, textbooks and more.

By Sara Pauff

The University Health Center has kicked off its annual #FluGA campaign at https://bit.ly/2OWN9jQ. With many ways to access the flu shot, this year the UHC is including an egg-free vaccine.

Flu shots are available to UGA students, student spouses, current faculty/staff and their dependents (13 years and older) and retired faculty. A flu shot is free for those who bring a UGA ID and current insurance card. A flu shot will cost $50 for those who are uninsured.

Flu shots are available on a walk-in basis until Nov. 16 at the Allergy & Travel Clinic Wednesdays from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and Fridays from 1-4 p.m. Want flu shots to come to your department or organization? Send a request to https://bit.ly/2yHCkaS. The UHC webpage also includes frequently asked questions about seasonal flu and links to additional information from the CDC. The UHC offers the following tips to prevent the flu: 1. Get a flu shot. The best way to prevent the flu is to be immune to the viruses. If you haven’t gotten a flu shot yet, you should still get one.

2. Practice good hand hygiene by either hand washing with soap and water or by using alcohol-based gels.

3. Do not touch your face, eyes or mouth unless your hands are clean.

4. Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing. An uncovered cough or sneeze can project respiratory droplets 3 to 6 feet or more.

To treat the flu, the UHC suggests: 1. Stay home if you are sick. A good rule of thumb if you have the flu is that you should stay home as long as you have a fever. You can return to school or work if you are fever-free for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medicines.

2. Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing.

Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.

3. If you live in a residence hall, consider going to your permanent home until you have recovered.

4. Take medication to relieve the symptoms of flu.

5. Drink plenty of liquids.

6. Avoid using alcohol and tobacco.

7. Rest.

Without electricity, there’s no way to keep milk cool in rural Africa. Engineering professor William Kisaalita is working to change that.

Dairy device

Researcher develops tool to keep milk fresh and raise income for sub-Saharan Africans

By Leigh Beeson lbeeson@uga.edu

Every morning, Nsangi Racheal Sebuufu and her children wake before dawn.

The kids go to the well to fetch water.

Then they help her milk the cows. She makes breakfast, does household chores and sees the children off to school before making her way to the fields where she grows crops and raises dairy cattle.

“The beauty with dairy is the daily income,” she said in Luganda, the language of Uganda’s Baganda people.

“The difficulty is selling our evening milk.”

Where Sebuufu lives in rural Uganda, electricity is scarce. That means much of the milk collected in the evenings (about half of all milk produced in Uganda during the rainy season) is wasted because there’s no way to keep it cool overnight. Some women buy ice to pack around containers of milk, but it’s an ineffective and often costly solution.

And for African women, who comprise much of the poor farming workforce in the country, that’s money they can’t afford to lose.

“If you look at sub-Saharan Africa, you’re going to see that women are the poorest population and that they are the ones maintaining the farms,” said William Kisaalita, a professor of engineering at the University of Georgia. “If we can double their income, the impact

is huge. People say, ‘They’re only earning $5, and you’re making it only $10.’

But if you were making $20 and it got doubled to $40, wouldn’t you dance on top of a table? You would because it’s a huge difference.”

A native Ugandan himself, Kisaalita was determined to find a way to maximize small farms’ dairy profits. Using his background in mechanical and chemical engineering, Kisaalita and his team developed a cooling device that doesn’t require in-home electricity.

The Evakuula has two components: The first heat-treats the pooled milk to kill much of the bacteria in it, and then the second rapidly cools the milk to a temperature that prevents spoilage.

Known as thermisation, the heating process is similar to what is done in larger dairies to store milk before processing, but it’s shrunk down so that local farmers can use the technology on their own small farms. Instead of electricity, the Evakuula process uses heat derived from a plentiful biofuel: cow manure. As the manure is piled and begins to decompose, it emits methane, a greenhouse gas that traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

Kisaalita’s machine captures that gas and uses it to heat the milk. (That biogas can also serve as fuel for other uses, such as cooking and lighting.)

Immediately after heating, the milk is transferred to the cooler, which uses evaporative cooling to chill the milk to

about 10 degrees below room temperature. The mechanics behind the process are relatively simple.

“You know how when you are in a swimming pool and you jump out on a windy day, you feel very, very cold?

The reason you feel cold is because the water drops on your body are evaporating and taking some of your body heat with them.”

Evakuula’s cooling process works the same way. The milk is placed in a cooler with an attached fan that hastens the evaporation of water droplets off the milk canister.

The milk container doesn’t take up the entire Evakuula cooling canister, so farmers like Sebuufu are also able to use it to cool and preserve other food for their families.

“With the Evakuula, evening milk is sold, and I have more income. Life is better,” she said.

As for Kisaalita, he’s not satisfied stopping with milk. He and his team of researchers are now using the Evakuula technology to create a cooling container for eggs.

“This is the land that gave me birth. This is my opportunity to give something back.”

Research traces impact of weather safety training

By Alan Flurry

aflurry@uga.edu

Does knowledge about severe weather translate into meaningful planning that helps the public protect itself?

A new study authored by University of Georgia researchers demonstrates the effectiveness of weather science and safety education for teachers, their students and the students’ parents.

Weeklong weather science and safety workshops were conducted over the course of the summers of 2011 and 2012 with 66 teachers of kindergarten through eighth grade in three Georgia counties using the American Red Cross Masters of Disaster curriculum.

The workshops were designed to build teacher interest and increase teacher

knowledge about the curriculum, evaluate its use by teachers, evaluate students’ weather science and safety knowledge, and evaluate students’ and families’ weather safety behavior.

The researchers focused the workshops and disseminated the curriculum materials in regions of Georgia that in the past were climatologically and socioeconomically vulnerable to the effects of severe weather (central, south and coastal Georgia).

In the follow-up study of parents whose children had received instruction in the curriculum, a clear majority of the families sampled in the following year indicated that they had developed safety plans and took additional steps to prepare for severe weather.

“Through our teacher workshops,

we wanted build a culture of readiness for severe weather by pairing instruction on weather science with education on ways to prepare for and stay safe when thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes or floods threaten,” said Alan Stewart, professor in the counseling and human development services department of UGA’s College of Education and coauthor on the study.

“Our research shows that more than 70 percent of families we were able to sample had made changes to their severe weather preparations as a result of the teacher training and the teachers’ classroom instruction. The message got through,” said John Knox, Sandy Beaver Teaching Professor in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences geography department and co-author.

The UGA College of Environment and Design will host a lecture by Morag Kersel Oct. 24 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 125 of the Jackson Street Building. Open free to the public, the lecture is sponsored by the college and the Archaeological Institute of America.

A 2000 graduate of the Master of Historic Preservation program at the environment and design college, Kersel is an associate professor of anthropology and director of the museum studies minor program at DePaul University.

In her lecture, “Who Owns the Past?

Competing Claims for Antiquities from the Holy Land,” Kersel will discuss how more than 15 years of research have provided insights on why there is demand for material from the Holy Land and what motivates collectors, both individual and institutional. This interdisciplinary investigation examines the relationship between the demand for Holy Land artifacts and the competing claims to owning the past.

Entomology department’s BugDawgs to hold annual ‘Octobeefest’ on Oct. 25

UGA BugDawgs will host its annual “Octobeefest” Oct. 25 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Creature Comforts Brewing Co., 271 W. Hancock Ave. UGA BugDawgs members will teach the Athens community about the importance of bees, pollination and honey. Visitors will receive information about the impact local bees have on the community.

Marianne Shockley, a faculty member in the entomology department of UGA’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, founded the UGA BugDawgs for students enrolled in entomology service-learning and outreach associated with the entomology department.

In addition to educating attendees about pollination, Octobeefest will include insect tastings, candle making from bee’s wax, honey tastings and a beehive observation hive. T-shirts also will be available for purchase. Proceeds from all T-shirt purchases will benefit the entomology department and the UGA BugDawgs.

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra returns to UGA Nov. 2 for a performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 10. ASO principal guest conductor Donald Runnicles will conduct the 8 p.m. concert in the Performing Arts Center’s Hodgson Hall.

When Mahler died in 1911, only his widow knew of the existence of the Tenth Symphony. Mahler left his final opus only partially orchestrated, but its tragic melodies, its shape and substance were all on paper. In 1959, the English musician and musicologist Deryck Cooke began work on a performing version of the complete five-movement symphony. The world premiere of the Cooke performing edition of the Mahler Tenth occurred at a BBC Promenade Concert in 1964 with the London Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to serving as principal guest conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Runnicles is also the general music director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and music director of the Grand Teton Music Festival. He was recently named conductor emeritus of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, having served as its chief conductor from 2009-2016.

CAMPUS CLOSEUP

Archie B. Carroll, professor emeritus of management in the Terry College of Business, recently received the “2017 Best Paper Finalist Award” from the journal Business & Society.

Titled “The Institutionalization of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting,” the article was published in Business & Society in 2017. It was co-authored with Kareem Shabana, who earned a doctorate in strategic management from UGA in 2008 and is now on the faculty of Central Connecticut State University, and the late Ann K. Buchholtz, former Terry College professor.

The award was presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management in Chicago.

Brian Williams’ team includes full-time staff members, graduate students and more than 300 student staff members.

Ted Futris, an associate professor in the human development and family science department of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, is the co-recipient of the Margaret E. Arcus Outstanding Family Life Educator Award, along with his colleague Francesca Adler-Baeder of Auburn University.

The award, sponsored by The National Council on Family Relations, aims to “encourage a tradition of excellence and scholarship by recognizing family life education scholars and practitioners who advance the field and increase the visibility and credibility of family life education scholarship and practice.”

Ted Futris Elevate is one of the curricula that the two have worked together to develop. This unique program aims to help couples strengthen their relationships through a curriculum that “blends practical skills with an understanding of the physiology of human interaction to enhance healthy relationship knowledge and skills.”

In addition to the work being done with adult couples and parents, Futris leads grants designed to assist at-risk youth through UGA Cooperative Extension.

Olin E. Rhodes Jr., director of UGA’s Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and a professor in the university’s Odum School of Ecology, is the 2018 recipient of the Caesar Kleberg Award for Excellence in Applied Wildlife Research. The annual award is given by The Wildlife Society in honor of the late Texas conservationist Caesar Kleberg.

TWS said the award recognizes those who have distinguished themselves in applied research and whose body of work, in both inquiry and discovery, has resulted in application of management and conservation on the ground.

Rhodes’ research has focused on wildlife ecology and genetics, including the genetic conseOlin E. Rhodes Jr. quences of species reintroduction programs, the use of genetic tools for addressing issues of wildlife management and conservation, disease ecology and the sustainability of wildlife species in human-dominated landscapes, to name a few.

Rhodes previously was assistant director of the National Wildlife Research Center, a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Prior to the position with USDA, Rhodes was a professor in the forestry and natural resources department at Purdue University. He also served as director of Purdue’s Interdisciplinary Center for Ecological Sustainability.

The award, which includes a medal and ­monetary gift, was presented to Rhodes Oct.10 at TWS’ 25th annual conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

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.

Senior associate director for facilities credits team with helping his success

By Emily Webb

sew30274@uga.edu

For Brian Williams, teamwork really does make the dream work.

“I feel I am who I am because of my team,” said Williams, the senior associate director for facilities for the department of recreational sports in the Division of Student Affairs.

One of Williams’ responsibilities is overseeing all campus recreational facilities for the university: Ramsey Student Center, Pound Hall and Wheeler Gym on the Health Sciences campus, Recreational Sports Complex and Club Sports Complex. Besides managing these facilities, he is also in charge of upkeep and renovation, and these aspects require Williams to have the input of his team to create the best facility for its users.

“Renovating a 440,000-square-foot facility—on top of the other facilities that we have—takes a really dedicated, hardworking and intelligent team of really bright people,” he said. “For me, I know I can’t have my eyes and ears everywhere, so having a team of people I can trust who are working incredibly hard, who have the best interests of our students at heart, it makes my job 10 times easier.”

Williams’ team consists of nine full-time staff members, four graduate students and more than 300 student staff members.

Williams started his career at UGA

as a graduate assistant in 2006 while he was pursuing his master’s degree.

While working at Ramsey as a graduate assistant, he realized that he could do what he wanted to do with strength and conditioning at campus recreation, so he applied for a supervising position at Ramsey and got the job.

“I love what we do in campus recreation. I love the services and the programs we provide to our students,” he said. “I’ve stayed at UGA because I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to advance my career. I’ve gone from being a graduate student in our department to now being a senior administrator in our department. At each level, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more, to grow as a person and also to give back to our students in terms of the renovations that we’ve done and the programs that we’ve brought forth.”

One of those renovations was the Ramsey Student Center, which was built in 1995. The Ramsey Renewal project began with the building’s 20th anniversary. With that kickoff, the main floor of the lobby, the main office and the weight rooms were renovated to meet the needs of today’s students and to create a clear red and black, UGA theme at the building.

Williams’ years at UGA have made him more excited about higher education and how students learn and affect the global society. He is pursuing a doctor of education in learning, leadership and

organization development at UGA’s Gwinnett campus. His goal is to be a professor or a dean of students.

“Anytime you’re in a career and you get to a point where you feel like you have mastered a skill, my mindset has always been go learn another skill or another trade,” he said.

Williams believes strongly in leadership, but he doesn’t believe that his position of authority should determine the ideas and direction of the work.

“People think leadership comes from this generalization of people and your understanding of how things should work,” he said. “In actuality, true leadership comes from getting to know the people you work with on a more personal level and understanding them individually. Once you begin to do that, you build this relationship, this understanding and this trust that makes getting the work done so much easier.”

ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES

Bringolf, Jackson step into new roles at Warnell

By Sandi Martin

smartin@warnell.uga.edu

Robert Bringolf and Rhett Jackson stepped into new positions this fall that will help shape undergraduate and graduate education at UGA’s ­Warnell School of Forestry and Natural ­Resources.

Bringolf is now the associate dean for academic affairs, succeeding Steven Castleberry, who has opted to return to teaching and research. Bringolf had been serving as Warnell’s graduate coordinator, a position Jackson has now taken over.

Bringolf said he’s thrilled about his new position at Warnell.

“I’m humbled and grateful to have the opportunity to serve the Warnell School in this role,” Bringolf said. “It’s truly an honor and a blessing to be a part of a community of faculty, staff and

students that excel in so many ways.

I look forward to the new challenges and doing whatever I can to maintain and enhance our strong trajectory.”

Jackson said he’s very excited about his new position.

“The (school’s) graduate program was already running well,” Jackson said.

“Administrator Kate Dedufour, and her assistant, Shira Hersonsky, both manage (it) so well.”

Dean Dale Greene thanked Castleberry for his service as associate dean.

“We all deeply appreciate the great job that Dr. Castleberry has done for the school while serving as associate dean for academic affairs,” Greene said.

Bringolf, professor of fish biology and ecotoxicology, has been with Warnell since 2008 and took on the graduate coordinator job in 2015. A prolific author and presenter, he has won numerous honors and awards,

i­ ncluding the Herrick Superior Teaching Award and the Xi Sigma Pi Professor of the Year Award.

Jackson, the John Porter Stevens Distinguished Professor of Water Resources, joined Warnell in 1997. He’s won several teaching awards, including the Faculty Award for Outstanding Teaching and UGA’s highest award for young faculty, the Richard B. Russell Undergraduate Teaching Award.

UGA grows education across Southeast with new Alice H. Richards Children’s Garden

By Leah Moss

leahmoss@uga.edu

The Alice H. Richards Children’s Garden, set to open in early 2019 at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia at UGA, will be a groundbreaking destination for children to learn more about the wonders of Georgia’s natural resources while planting, climbing, crawling and skipping through a two-and-a-half-acre accessible environment.

“The children’s garden is an exploration, a journey, not something you just walk through,” said Jennifer Cruse-Sanders, director of the State Botanical Garden.“Everything is designed with attention to detail and an educational component.”

Named for Alice H. Richards, a charter member of the State Botanical Garden’s Board of Advisors, the children’s garden will officially open on March 23, 2019. The new attraction is expected to draw more than 50,000 visitors a year.

The garden is an interactive outdoor classroom for hands-on education. Unlike any other in the Southeast, it is an experience crafted in layers, for children to explore under, around and through.

Teams of designers, local artists, environmental construction firms, and even the Nassal Company—a theme park construction firm responsible for Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Georgia Aquarium, among others—have ensured that every stone, leaf and flower is placed with intention. From climbing walls, to the fossils of a mastodon—the ancient ancestor of the mammoth—to musical instruments resembling mushrooms and a tree house in the canopy, the children’s garden teleports children into a whimsical world where nature inspires and delights.

In addition to introducing children to nature, the children’s garden will be used to enhance and expand upon existing programs, including classes, summer camps, field trips and more.

“The Dig and Grow Gallery will be used for summer camps such as Bee Smart Eat Smart,” said Cora Keber, ­director of

education at the garden. “Kids will get the chance to plant different things, as well as harvest fruits and vegetables that they can cook into healthy foods. It’s all about discovering how what we eat is linked to our health.”

The Georgia Discovery Plaza area showcases the state’s ecology, industries and history. By pressing a button, children can watch water erupt and trickle through a granite map of the state from the piedmont area to the coast. The granite highlights an important habitat and industry in Georgia and was locally sourced from Elbert County.

Gardens filled with vegetables and sunflowers—the children’s garden signature plant—are atop an underground explorer area. Children can look through windows to study soil science and plant roots. When seasons change, the windows will be replaced with interchangeable panels designed

by Lamar Dodd School of Art students.

The journey through the garden takes children through a fallen, giant chestnut tree. Children can run their hands along the bones of the old chestnut tree (the once plentiful, economic-driver that was wiped out by the rapid and devastating chestnut blight infection) before climbing up into a tree house overlooking the State Botanical Garden’s tree canopy.

“Everything is connected. Every feature of the garden intersects and connects, allowing everyone to leave with a unique experience and feeling that much closer to nature,” Cruse-Sanders said.

Colorful flowers by the gazebo, pitcher plants by the Monet Bridge and a variety of insect sculptures will help educate children to Georgia’s native plants and endangered pollinators.

The family of Alice H. Richards, who died in May 2007, donated the initial $2 million toward the $5 million children’s garden.

“She would be beaming with pride at this,” said Jim Richards, Alice H. Richards’ son. “She would be following the development with tremendous interest.”

Book examines region’s oyster industry

A High Low Tide: The Revival of a Southern Oyster

By Andre Joseph Gallant University of Georgia Press Hardcover: $32.95 Ebook: $32.95

Oysters are a narrative food: in each shuck and slurp, an eater tastes the place where the animal was raised. Andre Gallant uses the bivalve as a jumping-off point to tell the story of a changing southeastern coast, the bounty within its waters and what the future may hold for the area and its fishers. With A High Low Tide he places Georgia, as well as the South, in the national conversation about aquaculture, addressing its potential as well as its challenges.

The Georgia oyster industry dominated in the field of oysters for canning until it was slowed by environmental and economic shifts. To build it back and to make the Georgia oyster competitive on the national stage, a bit of scientific cosmetic work must be done, performed through aquaculture.

Employing months of field research in coastal waters and countless hours interviewing scholars and fishermen, Gallant documents both the hiccups and the successes that occur when university researchers work alongside blue-collar laborers on a shared obsession.

“Entrepreneurs come and talk about how they started and how they kept on going,” said Zengo. “And they each teach a different life lesson. Some of them blew it out of the water instantly, while others didn’t really.

They failed, and then they kept on trying to improve. And they ended up succeeding.”

And rejection is a subject stressed in the seminar taught by Don Chambers or Cali Brutz, lecturers and associate directors of the UGA Entrepreneurship Program.

“When you’re looking to be an entrepreneur and start up an idea, it’s hard,” said Chambers to the class. “Don’t be discouraged if we push on you. Don’t take it as ‘that’s a stupid idea’; that’s not the case at all. It’s hard. If it were easy, none of us would be in college. We’d all be zillionaires coming up with ideas. So keep trying. If the first idea, the second idea, doesn’t work, that’s fine.”

For a class for freshmen who are only a few weeks into the semester, the class is fast paced.

“Why are ideas no good?” Chambers asked the class.

“Because they’re just ideas,” said Haylee Peters, an international business management major from Monroe.

“Because they’re based on your world, your experience,” Chambers explained.

“How many other people have the same problem? Maybe two. Are there 200? Are there 2,000? If you can find 10 people, you can find 20; if you find 100, you can find 200. If you can’t find 10, you can’t find 20.

And you don’t have a business. Try to prove yourself wrong. Most of your ideas won’t pan out. If you can’t prove yourself wrong, then maybe you really are on to something.”

After a discussion on customer discovery, the class breaks into groups to come up with open-ended questions to ask potential customers. They’re all working on different group projects—building apps, websites, doing marketing for a neck pillow—to work through what it takes to start your own business.

“So far the coolest thing I’ve learned, I think, is just how much goes into building a business,” said Peters. “Because I’ve been working for Chick-fil-A, I’ve been learning about businesses that are already established.

It’s been nice to learn about how ideas turn into businesses and how much it takes—how many different types of people are needed to even start thinking about a potential business.”

Peters also likes the camaraderie of the Launch Pad community.

“I immediately had 25 friends. We hang out all the time,” she said. “I get to hear their ideas and give my input. They’re all pretty honest about my ideas and what they think I could improve on, and it’s been nice to just be able to interact with these people that have different interest in different majors.”

Abdulhaqq said the program is a small, tight-knit community. “I don’t have that many freshman classes because I came in with 50 credit hours and am in a lot of junior- level classes,” she said. “Having the other freshmen I can relate to is really helpful.”

But mostly the program has reinforced her entrepreneurial spirit.

“This had made me realize that I can do bigger things than just reselling clothing,” she said. “I could have a corporation and run it right now and start it.”

In fact, Ethan Boos and Charley Sun from the program are currently working their first business possibility through the eight-weeklong UGA Idea Accelerator.

The Launch Pad program is one of many initiatives UGA is taking to elevate entrepreneurship at UGA. Housed in the Terry College of Business, the UGA Entrepreneurship Program includes an undergraduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship—which is open to all UGA undergraduate students interested in working for a startup or nonprofit, or pursuing investment banking and angel funding—and a Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship, open to all UGA graduate students who want to develop an idea into a successful venture, build an effective team and secure funding.

“The Entrepreneurship Program at UGA has been designed to be very hands-on,” said Bob Pinckney, director of entrepreneurship at UGA. “Entrepreneurship can be described as a contact sport—you have to be in it to truly learn how to be successful at starting and running your own business. We work hard to provide opportunities for students to learn and experience entrepreneurship through doing. From the Harvard case studies and speakers in the classroom to the accelerators, pitch contests and Georgia Kickstart Fund, UGA is building one of the top entrepreneurship programs in the country.”

UGA entrepreneurship opportunities in addition to the Launch Pad include UGA’s Next Top Entrepreneur competition, Collegiate Consensus Great Brands Competition, UGA Idea Accelerator Program, UGA Kickstart Fund, UGA Summer Launch Program, participation in the new Student Startup Incubator and membership in the Society of Entrepreneurs.

The program will grow from this inaugural class of 26 with room for around 50 students in the next cohort. Applications for the Launch Pad will open in spring for incoming freshmen.

Herrick and the North Oconee River.

The Lake Herrick shoreline improvements create a terraced lawn for activities and events; an accessible dock for launching kayaks, canoes and paddle boards into the lake; and a walking trail through native vegetation along the lake’s edge.

An overlook dock and renovation of the Lake Herrick Pavilion provide more opportunities for engagement within this vibrant campus landscape.

“The Lake Herrick Watershed Restoration Project demonstrates UGA’s ongoing commitment to steward natural resources and advance campus sustainability,” said Kevin Kirsche, director of UGA’s Office of Sustainability. “My hope is that members

of the UGA and local community will get outdoors and enjoy Lake Herrick and Oconee Forest Park, fall in love with this place, and continue to protect and restore these and other natural treasures.”

Lake Herrick is a prominent feature within Oconee Forest Park, which serves as a living laboratory for research in the natural and social sciences and an interdisciplinary outdoor classroom. Faculty and students in visual arts, communication studies, ecology, engineering, forestry and natural resources, landscape architecture and other disciplines have unique opportunities for experiential learning at the site.

Lake Herrick also is open to the public for enjoyment.
