Hugh CrawfordDr. Thomas Hugh Crawford, Associate Professor in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, has been honored by the University System of Georgia (USG) with the Regents' Teaching Excellence Award.
Crawford received the award at the Seventh Annual Regents’ Awards for Excellence in Education Celebration on March 26 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel. Crawford’s nomination noted his ability to design his courses to adapt to students. As one example, he and his students built a replica of Henry Thoreau’s house on campus, which resulted in many students volunteering to work on the house who weren’t even enrolled in his course. The nomination noted Crawfords’ lifelong impact on his students, who have given a legacy title of their own to his courses: “a Crawford course.”
