KUDOS: Jones named Meigs Professor and other faculty highlights

This week, find stories about faculty members Stephanie Jones, Anneliese Singh, and Jennifer Graff on the College of Education’s website.

Professor Stephanie Jones was one of five University of Georgia faculty members named as a Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor, the university’s highest recognition for excellence in instruction at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Anneliese Singh, an associate professor in the Department of Counseling and Human Development Services, is one of 25 faculty and researchers named to the Center for LGBTQ Studies’ Scholars of Color list. The list also marks the center’s 25th anniversary; it was founded in 1991 at the City University of New York as CLAGS.

And Jennifer Graff, associate professor in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, will serve a three-year term on the Orbis Pictus Award committee to select top nonfiction books for children. The annual award recognizes and promotes excellence in nonfiction writing for children, and names a winner, up to five “honor” books and eight “recommended” books every year.
