Excellence in Student Success

The D.W. Brooks Faculty Award for Student Success was established in 2021 to honor University of Georgia alumnus D.W. Brooks who devoted his professional life to improving the quality of society through continued service and support of agriculture, agribusiness, and the environment. Mr. Brooks was a graduate and faculty member of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding accomplishments of faculty who have contributed to efforts at the University of Georgia, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. This award celebrates those who have implemented policies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance the university community. The impact of the faculty's achievement should be readily measurable and affirmable through peer assessment, by industry, state, or local governmental officials.

One Brooks award shall be given in alternate years (beginning in 2020) for excellence in student success. Beginning in 2021, the recipient shall receive a plaque and a $5,000 cash award from the D.W. Brooks Endowment Fund.
