01.27.2012Renowned UGA Chemist Henry Schaefer HonoredHenry F. Schaefer III, Graham Perdue professor of chemistry at UGA and director of the Center for Computational Chemistry in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, has been awarded a Humboldt Research Award from Germany's Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. As part of the award, which is valued at 60,000 Euro (approximately $80,000), Schaefer has been invited to undertake prolonged periods of collaboration with colleagues in Germany. Scaefer’s research involves the use of state-of-the-art computational hardware and theoretical methods to better understand the movement and function of electrons in molecules and to apply the insights gained to areas of broad chemical interest. Dr. Schaefer received his B.S. degree in chemical physics from MIT and Ph.D. degree in chemical physics from Stanford. He joined UGA in 1987 as Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry. I hope you’ll join me in applauding one of the most highly cited chemists in the world, and he's right here at UGA! Please click here to read more. |

01.25.2012Happy 91st Birthday to Georgia Legend Dan Magill!Daniel Hamilton "Dan" Magill, Jr. ’42, UGA’s longstanding sports information director, head tennis coach, and Georgia Bulldog Club secretary, is known throughout the state and the South for his contributions to the athletic program. Dan Magill coached Georgia's tennis team for 34 years, winning national titles in 1985 and 1987 along with 13 Southeastern Conference titles and a then-record 706 matches. Of even more consequence, he brought NCAA Championships to Athens first in 1972 and then each year from 1977-89, attracting huge crowds never before seen at a college tennis match. Magill officially retired from the University in 1995, leaving behind a legacy. His seat assignment in the press box at Sanford Stadium reads, "Dan Magill - Legend." Last year, for Dan’s 90th birthday, some 800 friends and family gathered to pay tribute at the Classic Center. On this birthday, I wish him many more exceptional years to come!

01.24.2012Victory! Lady Bulldogs Swim Team Breaks School RecordThis past Friday, Georgia’s Lady Bulldogs swim team beat South Carolina 117-112 to win their 77th consecutive home dual meet and break a school record set by the Georgia men’s tennis team from 1968-72. The team's home winning streak began in 1995. Since then, the Lady Bulldogs have won four national championships and seven Southeastern Conference titles, all under head coach Jack Bauerle’76. It was a bittersweet moment for Bauerle, who named his son, Magill, after former tennis coach Dan Magill. Magill’s team won its 76th straight home dual match in 1972. We're full of traditions, history and spirit at UGA, and I hope we keep all three in our elite swimming program under enthusiastic Jack Bauerle! Click here to read the article. |
