Faculty Spotlights
2011 Spotlights
George Selgin
Rock concerts aren't the only thing that fills auditoriums in the UK. When econ professor George Selgin sat on a Hayek-Keynes panel, an overflow crowd had to be turned away at the door.
Rick Watson
Prolific researcher and sage to a host of CIOs, the Australian-born Rick Watson straddles the world of theory and practice. What’s his secret? He never left the farm.
Dawn D. Bennett-Alexander
As a recipient of the 2011 President's Fulfilling the Dream Award, legal studies professor Dawn D. Bennett–Alexander said she could think of no better honor to represent her life’s work.

2010 Spotlights
Charlotte Mason
Department Head Charlotte Mason directs the Master of Marketing Research program, which attracts graduate students from all across the country. “I believe we have the best program going,” Mason says. “It’s certainly the longest running.”
New Economics Faculty
The Economics Department welcomes five new faculty to the Terry College this fall: Berrak Bahadir, Tina Marsh, Katherine McClain, Ian Schmutte, and William Vogt.
2009 Spotlights
Linda Bamber
To prepare her cost accounting students for the rigors of the CPA exam and the challenges they will face in the workplace, Bamber has created a customized course supplement that is currently 272 pages long — and crammed full of business press articles, problems more difficult than the textbook offers, plus case studies and writing assignments.
Jere W. Morehead
Jere W. Morehead, vice president for instruction and the Meigs Professor of Legal Studies at the Terry College of Business, will serve as senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. Morehead was chosen by UGA President Michael F. Adams from among four finalists identified in a national search to fill the second-highest position in the university's administration.
Santanu Chatterjee
Economics professor Santanu Chatterjee says his father's world travels as a liaison for countries providing aid to disadvantaged regions of India influenced his career path.
Jonathan Williams
Jonathan W. Williams is joining the Economics Department this fall as its new assistant professor. He recently completed his PhD in Economics from the University of Virginia, and his areas of specialty are industrial organization, applied econometrics, and applied microeconomics.
Jeff Netter and Annette Poulsen
As co-managing editors of the Journal of Corporate Finance and spouses of 22 years, professors Annette Poulsen and Jeff Netter have married their skill sets, their high professional standards, and their refreshing lack of pretense, to make JCF one of the pre-eminent academic journals in its field.
David Mustard
Mustard, whose research has influenced government policy, was inspired to become an economist after taking an undergraduate course on the economics of slavery.
2008 Spotlights
Chris Cornwell
A professor at the Terry College of Business since 1988, Cornwell has contributed to numerous joint research projects, many of which have been translated into lessons for the classroom. But when he incorporated more action-based learning into his Economics of Human Resources course last spring, he said it was the result of his participation in the Archway Partnership Project during his recent tenure as the director of the Leonard Leadership Scholars program.
Jim Linck
Terry College finance professor Jim Linck has received seven teaching awards since he was hired in 2000, and the college recently honored him with the 2008 Executive MBA Outstanding Instructor Award.
Denny Beresford
What makes former FASB chairman Denny Beresford such an unlikely rock star — in both corporate boardrooms and the academic world — is that the bespectacled Ernst & Young Executive Professor of Accounting acts nothing like the part.
Margaret Emmelhainz
This spring, Terry College honored marketing and distribution lecturer and undergraduate academic coordinator Margaret A. Emmelhainz with the 2008 Outstanding Teacher Award.
Chris Hanks
There is ample evidence to suggest that Chris Hanks (BBA 1990) was born to be an entrepreneur. Now, with a career that has come full circle and landed him back at UGA, Hanks is well-equipped to succeed long-time management professor Charles Hofer as Terry's new business plan guru and mentor to MBA students.
2007 Spotlights
Tina Carpenter
Carpenter developed an interest in fraud investigation during her tenure as a senior auditor at Arthur Andersen. She teaches grad students the how-to's of evidence collection.
Lee Reed
Legal studies professor O. Lee Reed has been appointed to the Robert W. Scherer Chair in Public Affairs at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business.
Robert Sumichrast
Sumichrast sees himself not as a CEO but as the leader of a collaborative team that will steer the Terry College on a path to national prominence.
Matt Weinberg
Mergers often leave higher prices in their wake, especially when they involve large consumer product companies. Predicting which mergers will put the biggest squeeze on consumers isn't easy, but antitrust regulators need to do more to protect the public from merger-related price inflation, according to research conducted by Terry economics professor Matt Weinberg.
