The Richard B. Russell Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching recognize excellence
in undergraduate instruction by faculty members in their early academic careers. The
awards were first presented in 1992 by the Richard B. Russell Foundation to honor
Richard B. Russell, a distinguished Georgian and University alumnus who had a love
for new knowledge and appreciation of our nation's youth.
Three (3) Richard B. Russell Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching are presented
each year. Awardees receive a $10,000 cash award from the Richard B. Russell Foundation.
The awards will be presented during UGA Honors Week at the Faculty Recognition Banquet.
