A. Achievements
Major accomplishments in 2014
1. UGA Strategic Direction I: Building on Excellence in Undergraduate Education
In August 2014 a new unit “Student Success and Advising Center” was created in the
College by repositioning resources supporting undergraduate education. The Student
Success Center is charged to elevate academic advising, recruitment and enrollment
management strategies, the first-year experience and transition to college, enhanced
and coordinated experiential learning opportunities in the college, student leadership
and career development through highly engaging, purposeful, and integrated
programming. As part of the new initiatives, FACS Student Success and Advising
Center launched a new student engagement series - The Bridge - to deliver a more
holistic approach to the undergraduate student experience. The Bridge program
focused on understanding what it means to be a student at a research land-grant
university, also linked college expertise and personnel with themes relevant to the
first year college experience such as nutrition, making the most of your residence
hall or apartment space, topics on relationships, networking, and money management.
Program attendees also had the opportunity to interact with current students, student
leaders, administrators, department heads, staff, faculty, and alumni. The last
program in the series featured a panel of FACS alumni who provided insight on
advice for successfully navigating the university and their next academic year.
2. UGA Strategic Direction II: Enhancing Graduate and Professional Programs
•
The new university-wide interdisciplinary graduate certificate program Certificate in
Obesity and Weight Management enrolled the first students in 2014. This certificate
program prepares students to address the obesity epidemic in clinical, community,
school, workplace and research settings.
•
The Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics recruited
for the accelerated master’s (B.S./M.S.) in Financial Planning, Housing and
Consumer Economics. The department also launched in fall 2014 a fully online MSnon-thesis Online Master Degree in Financial Planning.
3. UGA Strategic Direction III: Investing in Proven and Emerging Areas of Research
Excellence
•
The College welcomed two distinguished professors January 2014., Dr. Sergiy
Minko, Georgia Power Professor of Polymer and Fiber Science in the Department of
Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors with a 10% appointment in the UGA
1
Department of Chemistry. His research focuses in Nanostructured materials,
responsive materials, biomaterials, biointerfaces, functional fibers and textiles. Dr.
Leann Birch, Bill Flatt Professor Childhood Obesity, in the Department of Foods and
Nutrition. Her area of research focuses on factors that influence the developing
controls of food intake during infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Her work has
provided insight into individual and familial factors implicated in the development of
food preferences and eating behaviors, as well as risk and protective factors for
childhood obesity.
•
In 2015 we will welcome Dr. Leonid Ionov, and interdisciplinary hire with the
College of Engineering. His research concentrates on nanostructured materials, single
molecule research, fibers and polymers.
•
In the areas of research excellence, two of our faculty, Dr. Gene Brody (HDFS)
received 7.7 million dollars in research funding from the National Institute of Health
(NIH). Dr. Brody received from NIH two grants to help improve the health of young
African American in rural Georgia by understanding the impacts of social relationship
and stress. Dr. Jung Sun Lee (FDN) received SNAP-Ed funding from the USDA to
improve nutrition of low-income Georgians.
4. UGA Strategic Direction IV: Serving the Citizens of Georgia and Beyond
•
Dr. Karen Tinsley, FHCE, received a $110,000 USDA Rural Community
Development Initiative grant to support the Georgia Initiative for Community
Housing (GICH), a technical assistance educational program. GICH convened two
workshops for 15 community teams with 346 members. GICH increases human
capital of the housing team members through the retreats and educational programs.
During 2014 GICH cities provided housing counseling to 564 clients. GICH
communities were awarded $105,000 in community grants from foundations. Ten
GICH communities reported implementing or updating housing codes/ ordinances;
creating new housing agencies/organizations/authorities; and creating new
partnerships with county governments, state agencies, and community organizations
to improve local housing.
•
Cooperative Extension partnered with the Piedmont Healthcare System worksite
wellness program to offer Walk-a-Weigh and Walk Georgia programs to their
employees. Two hundred sixty participants lost a total of 1,110 pounds. Of those
participating through the worksite wellness program, 76 participants lost a total of
337 pounds over 8 weeks. After the 26 Walk-a-Weigh programs, the average systolic
blood pressure dropped 7 points. After each program, the average body mass index
dropped over 2 points from 31.1 to 28.8. The top behaviors participants reported
changing after the programs were doing 30 minutes of physical activity daily; keeping
high calorie snacks out-of-sight or out of the house; reducing fat in recipes; reading
nutrition labels when making food choices; consuming 2 or more dairy foods per
day; and using a pedometer.

•
The Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute (GTIPI), received $640,000 in
Federal funds from the National Highway Safety Administration through the
Governor’s Office of Highway Safety to provide training for certifications
throughout Georgia to promote and prevent traffic injuries. The program
certifies Law enforcement, Public Health, RN’s, Fire, EMS and Extension
Agents with the necessary skills to successfully promote traffic safety. GTIPI
provided training for 411 technicians.
•
Douglas Crandell, Public Service Faculty, in the Institute on Human Development
and Disability, provided training on evidence based system change for 162
Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors with the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation
Agency (GVRA) that operates programs to help people with disabilities to become
fully productive members of society. IHDD provided training in eight locations
across Georgia. GVRA Counselors received Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to
maintain their Certified Rehabilitation Counselor status.
•
Cooperative Extension educators reached more than 14,000 Georgians in 55 Georgia
counties with almost 300 presentations totaling more than 830 hours of instruction on
financial literacy. Pre and Post tests indicated participants gained knowledge in
understanding the end cost of rent to own; what to do if personal information is
stolen; how to budget in a crisis situation; and to compare loans by examining annual
percentage rates. Participants were significantly more likely to set and discuss with
family members financial goals and expenditures. Cooperative Extension provided
530 financial management programs for students in fourth through eighth grades.
5. UGA Strategic Direction V: Improving Faculty Recognition, Retention, and
Development
•
Dr. Mary Ann Johnson, faculty member of the foods and nutrition department in the
University of Georgia, College of Family and Consumer Sciences, has been named as
Vice President of the American Society for Nutrition. This 4-year term of office is
precedent to the highly prestigious position of President of the American Society for
Nutrition. In these positions, Dr. Johnson will provide leadership to the 5000
members of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) who are among the world's top
researchers, clinical nutritionists and industry scientists who advance our knowledge
and application of nutrition for the benefit of humans and animals. Dr. Johnson’s top
priorities are to embrace the mission of ASN to support the development,
dissemination and application of nutrition science research to improve public health,
clinical practice, and policy, as well as to promote graduate education and training of
physicians, dietitians, and other health professionals. ASN’s strength lies with the
diverse expertise among our membership in basic and applied sciences that we can
apply to address complex domestic and international nutrition concerns. In her role,
she plans to help ASN members to meet the changing needs of society and to generate
and apply the best nutrition science available to improve health and wellbeing.

B. Aligning FACS College Strategic Goals with UGA’s 2020 Strategic Plan
Planning Process: As part of the University's 2010-2020 strategic planning
process, the College of Family and Consumer Sciences are following the goals
established in the Strategic Plan completed in 2010. Seven goals emerged
which integrate with the university goals:
FACS Goal 1: Build on excellence in undergraduate education by increasing
student involvement, enhancing academic advising, providing the learning
environment necessary to ensure that programs of study are relevant to today‘s
needs, extending student recruitment to reflect a diverse student body and
recruiting the best and brightest students.
FACS Goal 2: Build on excellence in graduate education by increasing funding,
providing flexible course offerings, and establishing collaborations across
colleges.
FACS Goal 3: Invest in current and emerging areas of research excellence in Georgia
and the world.
FACS Goal 4: Serve the citizens of the state of Georgia through educational
programs and community partnerships.
FACS Goal 5: Improve faculty and staff recruitment, retention and development.
FACS Goal 6: Enhance the physical and technological environment and
capabilities to meet the needs of our students, faculty, staff and constituents.
FACS Goal 7: Improve stewardship of natural resources and advance the
college‘s dedication to sustainability.
C. Diversity Planning.
FACS does not have a Diversity Plan but will by fall 2015. In spring 2014, led by the Faculty
Advisory Committee, the college conducted a Climate Assessment Survey. In order to evaluate
the climate as it relates to how the college is addressing diversity and inclusion, the college
initiated data gathering via a survey to students, staff and faculty in the fall of 2013. A total of
457 responded (73 faculty, 58 staff, 51 graduate students, and 275 undergraduate students). The
strongest area of the survey indicating that diversity was clearly addressed was in relation to how
the college serves the public. That said, in other areas the survey indicated that the college is
doing in the range of great to somewhat okay to don’t know in addressing diversity in
relationship to courses taught/taking, recruitment, mentoring and advising, and policies and
procedures. Given the range of responses in the data, it became clear that additional information
was needed.
In fall 2014, eight focus groups were promoted by the FAC between October 1st and November
19th for college-wide participation: faculty, staff, and students. An additional focus group was
4
held with FACS administrators on December 11th. Follow-up online surveys for interested
individuals who couldn’t attend was made available as well (n=27). The focus groups were
conducted by Professor Janette Hill, and her doctoral students in the College of Education.
Analysis and final report was prepared by Dr. Hill and six graduate students.
The results from the analysis of the survey and focus group data (N=87) are presented in the
Family and Consumer Sciences Diversity Survey and Focus Groups: A Preliminary Report.
Four (4) categories emerged to develop the action oriented diversity and inclusion plan:
• Recruit and Retain Diverse Faculty, Staff and Students: Raise awareness and
effectively support, recruit and retain undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty and
staff
• Reward and Recognize Individuals and Processes that Support Diversity and
Inclusion: Make policy and structural changes in the college and develop partnerships
between the college and other UGA diversity resources
• Community and Educational Outreach: Create training and enhance educational
outreach opportunities that reflect the college’s values
• Visibility and Communication of Inclusion: Increase internal and external
communications of our commitment to the values of diversity and inclusion
On March 6, 2015, the FAC established a timeline to keep the momentum. The
recommendations for the college were compiled in a Draft matrix titled Diversity and Inclusion:
A FACS Plan for Action based on these 3 Phases of implementation:
Phase I:
Immediate implementation, between now and August 15, 2015, beginning of fall
semester
Phase II: Intermediate, between August 2015 and May 2016, the next academic year
Phase III: Longer Term, over the next two to three years
The draft Diversity Plan will be presented to the entire college at the FACS College Assembly,
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. The FAC is hopeful input will be gathered at department meetings and
retreats and given to the FAC department representatives by the end of September 2015. An ad
hoc committee should be put in place to assure implementation of the plan commences and that a
dynamic speaker and presentation of the plan will frame our commitment to the Plan. This will
occur in fall 2015.

The overall health of the Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics
is positive. The unit has been actively engaged in strategic planning and many of the goals set
were met or exceeded this year (see section VI). Some of those highlights include continuing to
build strong relationships with foundations and corporations.
We received a $50,000 gift from the TD Ameritrade to renovate the Conference Room in House
B into the Financial Planning Performance Lab.
We held our first annual FHCE Showcase Week and Internship/Career Fair. Ninety-seven
students attended, 22 employers registered (11 actually attended due to bad weather), and the
result was $3,500 in financial planning sponsorships and $3,600 in showcase week donations.
The showcase donations resulted in $1,974 in additional income (after expenses) contributed to
our Department to support student programs. Following the Internship/Career Fair, we hosted a
reception in the Recruit Box of Sanford Stadium for about 70 people. The Financial Planning
Banquet was held at the Georgia Center for about 80 people. Vince Dooley was the keynote
speaker. He filled in at the last minute when Gary Belski was unable to make it due to weather.
During Thinc Week 2014, FHCE hosted a direct selling event titled “Start Something…On Your
Own” on April 15, 2014. Bettie Smith and Tamara Ingram from the Direct Selling Education
Foundation arranged for the following individuals to visit UGA as a part of the event: John P.
Parker, Chief Sales Officer, Amway; Kerry Tassopoulos, VP of Government Relations &
Compliance, Mary Kay Inc.; Britney C. Vickery, CEO & Founder, Initials, Inc.; Jeff Hanscom,
Government Relations Manager, Direct Selling Association. These guests spoke on April 15 to
undergraduate students in eight different courses in FACS – in total, around 500 students,
including those who attended a panel discussion at the end of the day.
11
Our website (along with the rest of the College) was updated and includes video clips about each
of our undergraduate majors, student quotes, employment statistics, and other timely and
relevant information. We started the online master’s in financial planning with a class of 6
students. We increased our undergraduate enrollment, our graduate enrollment, and our BS/MS
enrollment. FHCE student credit hour production for the year was 14,356.5, comprising over
one-third (33.7%) of the College’s total credit hour production.
To facilitate admission into the online master’s in financial planning, we implemented a waiver
of GMAT/GRE for applicants to the MS-NT program for applicants with work applicable
experience. Additionally, we revised the internship requirement for Financial Planning majors.
To offer students choice in their experiential learning requirement fulfillment and to be
consistent with other FHCE degrees, it is no longer a requirement. We developed a list of
experiential learning course options for FHCE. We developed two new courses and one course
modification that will be part of a new Applied Consumer Analytics track for Consumer
Economics undergraduate majors and/or graduate students. We also added a new Behavioral
Economics course.
The Department agreed on mission statement, which is posted on our website
www.fcs.uga.edu/fhce, “We provide leading-edge teaching, research and outreach that improves
the economic well-being for families, increases the quality of life in communities and prepares
future leaders and entrepreneurs.”
During 2014, FHCE created and approved assessment plans for all four undergraduate majors
and began measuring the reporting outcomes. In December, we revised our Promotion & Tenure
Guidelines and Post Tenure Review Guidelines.
II.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS - INSTRUCTION
A.
Quality of Instruction
Several things related to innovative instruction and experiential learning took place in FHCE
during 2014. Diann Moorman was invited to be part of the flipping the classroom CTL group
and is currently working on implementing these strategies in FHCE 2100 and FHCE 5100.
Teresa Mauldin has been actively flipping the classroom for several years and is a wealth of
information for other faculty wanting to pursue this technique. Ann Woodyard was awarded the
Sweaney Innovation Fund award to re-develop FACS 2000E.
Ann Woodyard is leading up effort to develop online master’s in financial planning. John Grable,
Lance Palmer, Joe Goetz, and Swarn Chatterjee all developed at least one online course for the
curriculum this year. Sophia Anong developed and taught FHCE 3200 online in 2014.
Lance Palmer, Ann Woodyard, and Swarn Chatterjee taught large sections of 3200 during 2014.
For quizzes and attendance and to keep the students interested, they used smartphone apps.
12
Kim Skobba and Karen Tinsley taught a service learning course that was the impetus for
receiving a USDA-NIFA AFRI grant. Lance Palmer continued the VITA program, which is a
great example of experiential learning. Joe Goetz continues involvement with the ASPIRE clinic
and teaching the financial therapy class. FHCE will be starting the financial planning challenge
in 2015, an activity that will involve companies and get students to interact with them as mentors
and coaches.
Consumer Economics faculty met regularly during fall semester 2014 to develop the Applied
Consumer Analytics track that will be implemented for fall 2015. This required creating two
new courses FHCE 5050/7050 and FHCE 5960/7960 and modifying FHCE 5150/7150. Swarn
Chatterjee proposed the development of FHCE 4270/6270 Behavioral Economics.
B.
Majors, Minors and Certificates
The Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics offers the following
undergraduate degrees: Consumer Economics, Consumer Journalism, Financial Planning, and
Housing. An emphasis in Residential Property Management is offered as well as minors in
Housing and Consumer Economics. We offer an accelerated master’s (B.S./M.S.) in Financial
Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics. We offer master of science non thesis for
Financial Planning, Housing, and Consumer Economics. We have an M.S.-N.T. in Financial
Planning available online. We also offer a master’s and Ph.D. in Financial Planning, Housing
and Consumer Economics. Griffin campus enrollment increase stayed stable at 12 undergraduate
Consumer Economics majors.

FHCE is confident that the department name change, the change of the names of our
undergraduate major in financial planning and our graduate degrees, as well as our updated
website will help us to continue to see increased enrollment in our programs. At the graduate
level we are focusing our efforts on the online M.S.-N.T. in financial planning and the
accelerated master’s degree.

(Consumer Economics) A. New or Revised Outcomes in Student Learning, administrative or
support areas.
Learning Outcome 1: Expectation: Students are able to recognize and analyze economic
decisions relevant to individuals, families, and households.
Learning Outcome 2: Expectation: Students are able to assess the theories and models consumer
economists use to predict or explain the economic choices that individuals, families, and
households make.
18
Learning Outcome 3: Expectation: Students are able to explain and apply economic theory in the
analysis of consumer problems.
(Consumer Economics) B. New methods of assessing outcomes in student learning,
administrative or support areas
Learning Outcome 1: Assessment methods and conditions for success:
1. Pre‐Test: All students who declare a Consumer Economics Major complete a 22 multiple
choice pre‐test, administered online to students in FHCE 3150 in the first two weeks of each
semester in which the course is taught. The pre‐test is designed to assess students’ 1) ability to
recognize and analyze economic decisions relevant to individuals, families, and households, 2)
their knowledge and understanding of theories and models consumer economists use to predict
or explain the economic choices that individuals, families, and households make, and 3) their
ability to explain and apply economic theory in the analysis of consumer problems. The pre‐test
is given in FHCE 3150, which is a prerequisite for the upper‐level FHCE courses required for
Consumer Economics majors. The pre‐test was developed by the Consumer Economics faculty
in the department. No preparatory materials are given to students and the contents of the
assessment are not disclosed prior to the assessment. The assessment is not a graded component
of the course, but students receive bonus points for completing it. The course instructor provides
an Excel file with student responses to the undergraduate coordinator.
2. Post‐Tests: To assess how well Consumer Economics majors achieve the learning outcomes,
post‐tests are administered each semester online near the end of a senior level required course in
each semester the course is taught (FHCE 5100 for which FHCE 3150 is a prerequisite). The
post‐test is the same test that is given as a pre‐test. We expect that 80% of Consumer Economics
majors will average at least 80% (indicating good performance) on the post‐test. Administering
both a pre‐ and a post‐test allows us to see where students’ deficiencies and strengths are coming
into the major and how much they know when they have finished courses in their major.
3. Self‐Assessment: 80% of Consumer Economics majors will assess how well they have
mastered this learning outcome as either “somewhat” or “very much.” All undergraduate
Consumer Economics majors are asked to complete a confidential exit survey in the semester
they are scheduled to graduate. The survey includes questions asking students to rate the
strengths and weaknesses of the major in a variety of areas. In addition, in Spring 2011, the
following question was added: “To what extent do you believe your undergraduate degree has
prepared you for each of the areas listed below?” The areas listed are the six learning outcomes.
The answer choices are “not at all,” “very little,” “somewhat,” and “very much.”
Learning Outcome 2: Assessment method and conditions for success:
1. At least 80% of Consumer Economics majors will complete the pre‐test.
2. 80% of Consumer Economics majors will average at least 80% (indicating good performance)
on a 22 multiple choice item assessment administered in FHCE 5100.
3. 80% of all Consumer Economics majors will rate their mastery of this learning outcome
as either “somewhat” or “very much.”
Learning Outcome 3: Assessment method and conditions for success:
1. At least 80% of Consumer Economics majors will complete the pre‐test.
19
2. 80% of Consumer Economics majors will average at least 80% (indicating good performance)
on a 22 multiple choice item assessment administered in FHCE 5100.
3. 80% of all Consumer Economics majors will rate their mastery of this learning outcome as
either “somewhat” or “very much.”
(Consumer Economics) C. Changes or improvements made in programs or processes (as a
result of assessment findings. Show relationship of changes to assessment methods and results.)
The following learning outcomes are measured every semester. (1) Students are able to recognize
and analyze economic decisions relevant to individuals, families, and households. (2) Students
are able to assess the theories and models consumer economists use to predict or explain the
economic choices that individuals, families, and households make. (3) Students are able to
explain and apply economic theory in the analysis of consumer problems.
The post assessment data has been collected in FHCE 5100 since fall 2010. We only began
collecting the pre assessment data in FHCE 3150 during fall 2014 semester, so have no pre
assessment results to report. For the post assessment, the mean correct answers for most
questions (15 of 22) has either been consistent or increased.
The majority of Consumer Economics graduates felt very much or somewhat confident that their
undergraduate degree had prepared them for the measured outcomes.
Consumer Economics faculty met and will continue to meet and monitor the outcomes of these
assessments. As an outcome of this year’s meeting, revisions will be made to two questions, one
because it was ambiguously worded and another because it had two correct answers.
(Consumer Economics) D. Evidence of improvement in effectiveness (as a result of changes.
Include evidence of improved learning outcomes, improved support or administrative services,
or improved outcomes in special programs or projects.)
Consumer Economics faculty agreed, that with the above noted minor changes to the assessment
instrument, we will continue to use that assessment instrument as a pre assessment for Consumer
Economics majors in FHCE 3150 and as a post assessment for Consumer Economics majors in
FHCE 5100. We will also continue to use the online exit survey as a method of collecting data.

Learning Outcome 1 was assessed in 2014. To meet Learning Outcome 1, 80% of all consumer
journalism students will meet the standard or exceed the standard on the assignment rubric
assessing a team project and presentation related to a family case study in FACS 2000.
Consumer Journalism majors names were pulled from the roster of students enrolled in FACS
2000 and FACS 2000E from fall 2013, spring 2014, and summer 2014. This list of students was
sent to the instructors for those sections of that course. The instructors responded with the
percentage of students who successfully completed the Team Project portion of the course. For
fall 2013 through summer 2014, 100% (10 of 10 fall 2013 and 9 of 9 spring 2014) of the
consumer journalism majors met or exceeded the standard on the assignment rubric for the team
project. No consumer journalism majors enrolled in FACS 2000 or FACS 2000E during summer
2014.
This team project involved students participating in a group project solving a case study of a
family. Each group was required to give a 15 minute presentation where each individual student
was required to present and take questions about the case study. Presentations were evaluated on
thoroughness of case study analysis, group participation, visuals, appearance, and
professionalism.
(Consumer Journalism) D. Evidence of improvement in effectiveness (as a result of changes.
Faculty and staff on the Consumer Journalism admissions committee will be kept informed on
the results of the assessment measure collected each year. They will determine whether changes
are necessary.

All six Learning Outcomes were assessed in 2014.
For Learning Outcome 1: Faculty established a competency criterion of 80% on the questions.
This was the first year of assessment, so it is not possible to evaluate consistency; however,
students this year performed slightly below expectations (75%).
For Learning Outcome 2: Twenty-four students participated in VITA. A 100% pass rate on the
Internal Revenue Service certification exam was achieved.
For Learning Outcome 3: Using standards provided by CFP Board, faculty established a 70%
passing benchmark for students. In fall 2013 students achieved an average score of 82.96%.
During fall 2014 scores decreased to 63.00%. The class was not offered in the summer.
For Learning Outcome 4: Twenty-seven students wrote and defended a comprehensive financial
plan. The fall 2013 case and presentation average scores were 88.26% and 85.79%, respectively.

For Learning Outcome 6: Data were available only for the post-test in FHCE 5250 course: 88%
and 75%, respectively, for fall 2013 and spring 2014.
(Financial Planning) D. Evidence of improvement in effectiveness (as a result of changes.
It appears that the assessment plan is working. Financial planning faculty have developed core
questions, assessments, and certification steps that have been incorporated into courses.
Assessment results have already been used to change the way in which classes are being taught.
For example, the drop in case scores from fall 2013 and spring 2014 in FHCE 5250 led to a
reevaluation of the way the capstone class is managed. Specifically, more in-class assessments
have been incorporated into the course. It was thought that students were spending too much
time outside of class searching for answers to questions, which raised average scores
dramatically. Unfortunately, students will have a time constraint when they sit for the CFP exam.
The inclusion of timed in-class assessments adds a sense of reality to the importance of case
completion.
We plan to use the same outcomes and methods next year. It is out intent to continue this process
until we have accumulated enough longitudinal data to make additional changes to the
curriculum and specific courses.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS – PUBLIC SERVICE & OUTREACH AND
EXTENSION
ASPIRE Clinic
Joe Goetz serves as the Clinical Faculty Supervisor for financial planning students seeing clients
in the ASPIRE Clinic, which he co-founded in 2010. The clinic has maintained multiple
community partnerships (e.g., Athens Area Homeless Shelter, The Ark, and Habitat for
Humanity) whose clientele are now served in the ASPIRE Clinic. In 2014, Dr. Goetz continued
to serve on the advisory board and assist with the development of the Clinic - consistent with its
mission to use interdisciplinary research, teaching, and service to help individuals and families
improve overall wellbeing. He now also serves on the Board of Directors for The Ark - an
outreach center providing emergency financial assistance to the low-income population of
Athens-Clarke County and surrounding counties. He was instrumental in developing a
partnership between the ASPIRE Clinic, The Ark, and the Georgia United Credit Union, to better
serve families who are in financial distress and facilitate an increase in their financial stability.
The ASPIRE Clinic involves a faculty representative from each the following university
programs: Financial Planning, Marriage and Family Therapy, Nutrition, Furnishings & Interiors
(Home Design), and Law School Public Interest Practicum.
Housing and Demographics Research Center (HDRC)
Longstanding membership in the Housing Consortium, historically affiliated with the NAHB
research center, was not renewed. The expertise and interests of the HDRC faculty are not in line
with the Consortium’s main focus: building science and construction related housing issues.
Faculty members affiliated with the HDRC are concerned with increasing consumer/resident
well-being through improved housing situations, and the applied research and outreach projects
described below focus on housing affordability, living conditions, neighborhood health and
overall community and economic development.
Although established in 1996, the Center has never had formal bylaws. Bylaws were drafted and
circulated for review and comment. The draft has been reviewed and updated once and is
awaiting others’ comments and suggestions for formal approval.
The Board of Advisors was convened in September at the Georgia Department of Community
Affairs. Moving from round-table type meetings, the purpose of this meeting was to present and
gather input on the research project: Utilization of community social capital to address housing
needs.
Projects / Initiatives
Georgia Initiative for Community Housing (GICH) – Since 2004, GICH has been the signature
program of the HDRC. Details are provided in the following section.
34
Utilization of community social capital to address housing needs – This project is an integrated
research and educational dissemination project funded through the USDA. Research findings
will help develop the GICH program, while other project components will aid in the
development of the Center itself.
The purpose of this research project is to develop an increased understanding of the housing and
neighborhood revitalization issues facing Georgia’s rural and small town communities. Using the
results of the proposed research, education materials and technical assistance will be provided to
help communities build upon and strengthen their social capital to address community housing
and neighborhood revitalization needs.
The long-term goals of this project are to:
-Understand how capacity building interventions affect community capacity to address housing
and neighborhood revitalization issues in the rural South.
-Provide improved technical assistance, increased public awareness and policy solutions through
the integration of research, education and extension activities
Project components:
-Conduct a survey of housing and neighborhood challenges and community-level social capital
data for all non-metropolitan municipalities in Georgia
-Map social networks utilized to address community housing issues and other community
problems for 20 municipalities; document change in size and diversity as a result of capacity
building interventions, including participatory planning.
-Use research findings to develop program curriculum for the Georgia Initiative for Community
Housing (GICH), FHCE/UGA Extension and an undergraduate Housing and Development
course
-Develop a sustainable community research and mapping resource at the University of Georgia
for small cities, towns and rural communities in Georgia.
Housing and Community Development service-learning course (4340S) – Taught for the third
time, this course is now officially designated as service learning (S) and also directly tied to the
GICH program. In spring 2014, City of Porterdale was the community partner and students
conducted a housing conditions assessment of a target neighborhood for the class project. A
more structured RFP process was developed and distributed to GICH participants for servicelearning project spring 2015.
Integrating urban and landscape design technical assistance into the GICH program – Partnered
with the Center for Community Design and Preservation and the College of Environment and
Design to provide enhanced technical assistance to GICH communities. Specifically, Dr. Doug
Pardue’s Engagement Studio in fall 2014 worked with the City of Warner Robins on urban and
landscape design issues as it related to their GICH housing work plan. With common research
and outreach interests, this is the first step of a developing, comprehensive, collaborative project
of the Center for Community Design and Preservation and the College of Environment and
Design and the HDRC/GICH.
35
Housing Indicators Mapping site and online Database - In partnership with the Information
Technology Outreach Services Division of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government and Dr.
Robb Nielsen, the HDRC developed a custom interactive map utilizing GIS software and
HDRC-modified Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy data from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development. The customized data and map provides the most recent
housing indicators available for 1) each of the GICH program’s current (15) and alumni (30)
communities and 2) all places in Georgia.
Georgia Initiative for Community Housing (GICH)
GICH is a three-year program of housing technical assistance and collaboration. GICH has 15
active communities and has served 55 communities since 2004. In 2014, Karen Tinsley led the
Georgia Initiative for Community Housing program management team in developing the
curricula and training agendas and planned and implemented logistics for convening the 2
workshops listed below. Each workshop included 100 to 200 attendees, 10 to 20 speakers, and 12
facilitators. Fifteen communities attended each workshop. She also coordinated and convened
the following strategic planning efforts:
In June UGA faculty interested in housing and community development research and outreach
were brought together to discuss possible, mutually beneficial partnership opportunities. A
proposal was made to create a working group that would serve two-fold: a Technical Advisory
Committee for GICH and an on-campus, housing and community development interest group.
After follow-up inquires, there was not enough interest. A better approach is to utilize the new,
formalized structure of the HDRC bylaws and include those interested as associated faculty to
the Center.
As the GICH program is now 10 years old, the principal partners (UGA, GMA, DCA, and
Georgia Power) decided to engage in a yearlong strategic planning effort. This is a time to
celebrate the past accomplishments, make improvements to current programming, as well as plan
for future enhancements and/or changes to the program. The outcome of this effort will also
provide for the basis of obtaining additional sponsorships. Significant activities include:
-Convened a facilitated strategic planning meeting held in October. Discussed ideas,
opportunities, and threats. Developed an action plan for certain implementation items. Agreed to
utilize monthly meetings to discuss, research, and implement other issues and possible changes.
-Created/updated the mission statement.
-Conducted and summarized two focus group conference calls with key participants in
December.
-Established program representative liaisons for incoming community housing teams.
UGA GreenWay (www.ugagreenway.org)
UGA GreenWay was developed in 2009 and since then has grown from an interactive website to
include several social media tools (facebook, twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and Wordpress). It
was created as a way to reach new audiences for Extension. The information provided focuses
on current news and research related to helping individuals, families and communities live
greener and healthier lives. The content is regularly updated by Dr. Turner. Social media reach
36
continues to expand. Six new YouTube videos were posted in 2014. Facebook had 554 likes with
weekly post reach averages around 1,000. Twitter had 530 followers and a total of 2,724 tweets
since October 2009. Wordpress had 27 posts, 3,658 views in 2014, and 2,040 visitors in 2014.
Pinterest had 22 boards, 365 pins, and 736 followers. YouTube had 16 videos and 1,999 views in
2014 (5,517 overall).
Debtor Education
In 2013, the Department of Justice implemented new, stricter standards for approved providers
of the debtor education course required for individuals who file for bankruptcy. The new
requirements have slowed the process. In the past, our application for renewal has been approved
in four to six weeks. The 2013 application for renewal we submitted in April 2013 was not
approved until May 2014, and required only minor revisions to our consent and disclosure
documents. A total of 16 certificates were provided in 2014—all but one in Sumter County—
generating $585 for county FACS programs.
Your Money, Your Future
The curriculum is being used in more and more counties. In 2014, Extension agents provided
530 financial management programs for students in fourth through eighth grades ranging from
30 to 120 minutes in length. Michael Rupured provided agent training in March that will be
repeated in 2015, and have been invited by Tennessee Extension to provide statewide training to
4-H agents. Without the support of an evaluation specialist or someone to analyze the data,
documenting program impacts is a challenge.
Financial Management for Adults
Extension provided 300 financial management educational programs ranging from thirty minutes
to three hours in 55 Georgia counties focusing on basic budgeting skills, managing credit, and
protecting against identity theft. Michael Rupured provided an all day training for FACS Agents
and produced a new fact sheet on Identity Theft.
Professional Development for Georgia’s FACS Teachers
Keeping teachers current is a high priority, with the added bonus of an anticipated long-term
benefit to recruiting students as FACS teachers in Georgia establish relationships with faculty in
our college. Michael Rupured distributed a schedule for the 2014 FACS Summer College at the
January GATFACS conference with a one-PLU (10 contact hours) workshop from each
department. All but one (food science) were cancelled due to low registration. At the GACTE
conference in July, he distributed a survey to determine teacher preferences for professional
development. Based on responses to the survey, he recruited faculty to offer a variety of
professional development experiences for 2015 including one-PLU workshops (one in April, one
in June), a six hour workshop in April, and a series of monthly voiced-over PowerPoints.
Rupured is working on a new web page (gafacs.org) just for teachers to include the professional
development schedule, links to helpful resources from our college (such as extension
publications), information about master’s programs available in our college (especially with
distance learning options), and links to other helpful websites.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Initiative
37
Lance Palmer worked with UGA graduate students to provide training, supervision, and
administrative support to Fort Valley State University to support the launch of their first ever
VITA sites. In addition, Dr. Palmer continued to work with faculty and representatives at Dalton
State College, Colquitt County Family and Consumer Sciences agent (Andrea Scarrow), and
Clarke Atlanta University faculty to support and expand VITA service-learning programs around
the state of Georgia. These activities were partially supported by a grant from the IRS and with
generous support from Georgia United Credit Union.
Marketplace Exchange for the Affordable Care Act
With the Multistate Extension project, Joan Koonce facilitated and coordinated the efforts of
Extension educators in 12 states to provide education and outreach to consumers so they can
make informed choices regarding eligibility for health insurance plans. The states involved
include: University of Georgia, Kansas State, University, North Carolina State University,
Michigan State University, West Virginia State University, Prairie View A&M University,
University of Missouri, Penn State University, University of Florida, Tuskegee University,
University of Tennessee, and University of Wisconsin. This project was terminated in July
2014.
Health Navigators
In August 2013, FACS was awarded a $1,657,378 cooperative agreement with the Department of
Health and Human Services Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to operate a
Navigator program. The purpose of the Navigator program is to deliver consumer information
and education related to the new federally-facilitated health insurance marketplace
(HealthCare.gov) to rural consumers in the State of Georgia. UGA was one of two groups
funded within the State. UGA hired and trained 12 Navigators to assist consumers, small
businesses, and employees as these individuals and organizations look for health coverage
options to fit their needs and budgets. This program was terminated August 2014.

The Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics used the strategic
plan as the underlying motivation for most activities in 2014. During the May and August half
day Departmental retreats, the strategic plan was revisited in detail and revisions were made.
These are reflected below.
A.
Attained Goals
Goal 2.3: Update FHCE Promotion and Tenure Guidelines. Revise department name, ensure
clinical and 100% teaching faculty expectations, and online courses are included.
Progress: Completed January 2015.
Goal 3.7: Add a “working papers” section to the website to encourage prospective students to
apply to work with faculty with like research interests.
Progress: Worked with Jimmy Hansen and completed fall 2014
Goal 4.1: Design, develop, promote, and implement an online non-thesis M.S. degree program in
Financial Planning and admit 5 to 10 students annually and maintain active enrollment of 10 to
20 online FP master’s students.
Progress: First cohort admitted August 2014.
Goal 7.1: Increase undergraduate enrollment by 5% (256 to 269) by January 2015.
Progress: Due to the Departmental name change and efforts by the Marketing and Recruiting
Committee this goal was met.
Goal 11.1: Begin a research seminar series consisting of researchers from other universities
(domestically and internationally) who currently, or will in the future, work with our faculty.
Progress: Invited at least 2 researchers from other universities to speak at FHCE seminars during
2014/15 academic year.
Goal 11.2: Establish a short quarterly departmental newsletter highlighting the many areas in
which FHCE faculty are involved. Target various constituencies such as: alumni, high school
counselors, community organizations, media, faith communities, funders, campus, employers,
professional associations, “feeder” schools for undergraduate and graduate students, etc…
Progress: Issue 1 published April 2013, Issue 2 published November 2013. These online
newsletters had very few hits. Move toward promotion of website instead. FHCE is doing a
great job of keeping website updated.
Goal 12.1: Restart “Just So You Know…” and include selected information on college monitors.
Progress: Started February 8, 2013
48
Goal 13.1: Equal value attributed to the tripartite mission of the department within a land grant
university such that faculty appointments and performance are appropriately appreciated and
rewarded.
Progress: Promotion and Tenure Guidelines were revised fall 2014 to fairly reflect teaching,
research and service.
Goal 14.1: Implement the Housing and/or RPM emphasis at the Griffin campus.
Progress: Since we are not filling the RPM faculty position, focus on the Consumer
Economics/financial planning emphasis on Griffin campus.

Each faculty member will submit a grant proposal annually and by 2015, 75% of the faculty will
have secured external funding.
Goal 1.1: Build strong relationships with foundations and corporations that will lead to funding
for the Department.
Progress: Work with new Director for FACS Alumni and Corporate Engagement to develop
strategies to meet this objective by December 2014.

VII.
Specific actions in the past year by the department in support of Diversity and Inclusion defined
in the college as: “Diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. The term "diversity"
encompasses differences of culture, background and experience among individuals
and groups. Such differences include, but are not limited to, differences of race,
ethnicity, national origin, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and
abilities, as well as political and religious affiliation and socioeconomic status. The
College of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia embraces a
commitment to diversity by modeling for the state and nation, a community of
individuals and programs which seek to reduce prejudice, disparities, and
discrimination and build a supportive environment for all.”
The five goals of the UGA diversity plan are to:
1. Enhance and sustain an institutional climate that values and welcomes diversity and
inclusion.
2. Increase the recruitment and retention of diverse students, with emphasis on those
who are historically underrepresented.
3. Recruit, retain and support advancement opportunities for a more diverse faculty
and staff.
4. Expand partnerships that increase diversity-related research and program
initiatives with businesses, communities and organizations.
5. Integrate diversity and inclusion into established systems of accountability.
Some of the initiatives in the Department of FHCE to promote diversity in 2014 are described
below.
The Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics welcomes diversity.
Among the undergraduate students enrolled in FHCE Spring 2014, 30.4% were self-identified in
groups considered minority and 1.7% did not identify their race. In Fall 2014, 26.4% were selfidentified in groups considered minority and 1.9% did not identify their race. FHCE graduate
55
students also represented diverse backgrounds in Fall 2014: 5 PhD students were AfricanAmerican and 13 were international; 3 of the Master’s students were African-American and 4
were international. The faculty is committed to increasing student diversity because it
contributes to enriching the learning environment and students from diverse backgrounds are
needed in the careers associated with the department.
We continue to recruit students from diverse backgrounds. An informational event was
publicized and held in December 2014 to promote our BS/MS program. This was well attended
(25-30 students) and we are confident we will have more students applying to this program
option for fall 2015 and beyond. Also, as part of FHCE Showcase Week, an Internship/Career
Fair was held for FHCE majors. A table was set up at this fair to offer information about our
graduate programs.
Several events, such as research seminars and social gatherings were held for graduate students
during 2014 to help create camaraderie. These events were well attended and graduate students
organized some of their own events as well, such as an international potluck and a weekly
STATA study group. Our faculty, Graduate Coordinator, and especially our Graduate
Coordinator Assistant, make every effort to accommodate students from diverse cultural
backgrounds. This may include assistance with the application process, assistance with financial
aid, finding a place to live, and addressing issues resulting from cultural differences once the
student has arrived in the US.
VIII. INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
A.
Internationalizing the Curriculum
John Grable visited Seoul National University and Ewha Woman’s University in South Korea
summer 2014 to investigate possible future collaborations. Sheri Worthy and John Grable have
meetings set up to visit with the Office of International Education and the UGA Graduate School
to investigate collaborations with Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Parana (PUCPR) in Brazil.
Heitor Takashi Kato, a professor from the Business School at PUCPR, visited UGA in October
on behalf of the Dean. We would like to develop a model for sharing courses and accepting
credits into a program of study.
We continue to offer the study abroad in Costa Rica program. Four students participated in 2014.
This experience gives students credit toward FHCE 3000 Family Resource Management and
FHCE 3300 Housing in Contemporary Society. Also, our undergraduate students are encouraged
to participate in the London study abroad/internship program offered each summer.

campus. Dr. Tyvimaa is doing independent research in a project funded by the Academy of
Finland. The project has two main objectives: examining an alternative to the traditional
hedonic pricing model and exploring housing preferences of the growing number of single
person households. This study will also examine a demographic group whose growth will have
substantial impact on future housing prices, single person households. Housing prices and
attributes will be collected from Finnish and American housing price databases. Dr. Tyvimaa

The Department of Foods and Nutrition’s teaching, research and Extension/Outreach programs
are thriving. New courses and programs have been developed that increase the educational
opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty have been seeking and
securing sources of external funding to expand research programs. New Extension and Outreach
programs have been initiated in 2014 that will greatly benefit the health and well-being of
citizens of Georgia.
II.
A.
The mission of our program is to prepare students to function as professionals and to generate
scholarly work in the areas of Foods and Nutrition and to meet the changing needs of society and
industry. The primary emphasis of the program is the scientific basis for diversity in human
requirements for nutrients, the metabolic responses to dietary change, the interactions among
genetics, nutrients and food consumption patterns on human health and well-being and the
effects of intervention programs on individuals, groups and populations. The program is well
represented in national meetings and graduates are placed in a variety of professional positions
including those in clinical and community dietetics as well as positions in research, teaching, and
outreach in universities, medical schools, federal agencies, and industry. We offer both
undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Graduate students work closely with our faculty to conduct research to test hypotheses in a wide
89
range of areas such as nutrient metabolism; bone health; obesity; chronic disease risk; exercise
and nutrition; nutrition and aging; school nutrition; food safety; food insecurity; maternal and
infant health; consumer behavior, factors that affect consumer acceptability of foods; the effects
of intervention programs on knowledge, behavior, health and well-being; and food preservation
and safety. The program includes formal course work in foods, nutrition, and related disciplines
that is supportive of research and career objectives, active research in a problem area of mutual
interest to the student and major professor, department seminars, teaching assignments in the
laboratory, classroom and community. Service learning opportunities are provided in the
community as well. A study abroad program is offered each summer in Ghana, West Africa and
a new study abroad program in Costa Rica was successfully launched in 2014.
We offer the following graduate degrees: PhD and MS (thesis and non-thesis masters). We
offer two programs, in addition to our traditional MS and PhD graduate degrees, a Dietetic
Internship and a non-degree School Nutrition Director Certification Program (SNDCP). The
Master of Science Dietetics Internship enables a student to complete a graduate degree as well as
the requirements to become eligible for membership in the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
and to take the registration examination to become a registered dietitian. The Internship Program
is currently granted accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Chicago, IL. Students must apply to D&D Digital
Systems in order to be computer matched and then considered for admission to the UGA
Dietetics Internship Program. The SNDCP is a collaborative effort among the Department of
Foods & Nutrition, UGA’s College of Education, and state of Georgia’s Department of
Education to prepare students with master’s degrees to assume roles in school nutrition in all
public schools throughout the state of Georgia.
We assess our graduate program through faculty input, exit interviews (Department Head ) with
graduating students, a formal survey with closed- and open-ended questions that is mailed to
students who have graduated, and evaluations of the dietetics internship program with graduates,
preceptors and employers.
B.
The new interdisciplinary graduate certificate program (Certificate in Obesity and Weight
Management) enrolled the first students in 2014. This certificate program prepares students to
address the obesity epidemic in clinical, community, school, workplace and research settings.
The program requires 16 credit hours in nutrition, physical activity, policy and related areas.
In addition to the certificate program, our department also implemented an area of emphasis in
Nutrition for Sport and Exercise. This program spans general wellness, competitive athletes,
children, older adults and people with disabilities. It requires 12 (Master’s) and 18 (Doctoral)
credit hours in nutrition and exercise science.
The Department of Foods and Nutrition offers a certification program for School Nutrition
Directors.

In addition to visiting seminar speakers, departmental faculty hosted visiting scientists and
Extension Specialists. For example, the Michigan Extension Food Safety Team visited the
National Center for Home Food Preservation. They had received an internal grant for
professional development. The visit led to many discussions about our NCHFP research studies,
resources including the new youth curriculum, and food preservation and safety programming
and resources in UGA Extension.
91
Departmental faculty were invited speakers in foreign countries as illustrated by the following
examples:
• Mary Ann Johnson was a visiting scientist to University of Tel Aviv and University of Haifa.
• Jung Sun Lee was a visiting scientist to The Global Food and Nutrition Research Institute at
Ewha Womans University in Korea.

a. Student will develop a
nutrition education curriculum
and deliver one educational
session to a target population
or in a classroom setting in
FDNS 4660. 100 percent of
students will receive at least
90 percent of points
(indicating good performance)
on the written curriculum and
presentation of the
educational session in FDNS
4660 (Food and Nutrition
Education Methods)
b. At least 90 percent of
dietetic internship directors
who rate UGA dietetics
graduates indicate that
graduates are prepared and
proficient in oral and written
communication skills with a
rating of at least 4 out of 5 on
the communications skills
rubric.
Learning Outcome 1 –
Result:
a. 100% of the students
received at least 90% on the
presentation of an educational
session in 2013 and 2014. In
95
2013 100% of students
received at least 90% on the
development of a nutrition
education curriculum but in
2014 only 75% received at
least 90% on the development
of an educational curriculum.
In 2014, the faculty member
delivering this course content
changed the grading rubric.
The standard for good
performance on the
curriculum was changed from
90% to 80% to allow for a
greater range of grades and
improved communication to
students concerning
performance. This reduced
the percent of students
receiving at least 90% of
points. The faculty agreed
with this change in criteria
and it was agreed that the
conditions of success were
met.
b. The 2012 survey of dietetic
internship directors reflected
preparation of 2010-2011
graduates, while the 2014
survey reflected preparation
of 2012-2013 graduates.
100% of dietetic internship
directors in 2012 and in 2014
rated UGA dietetics graduates
as prepared and proficient in
oral communications skills.
In 2012 100% of directors
rated UGA dietetics graduates
as prepared and proficient in
written communications
skills, but in 2014 only 88%
of directors rated UGA
dietetics graduates as
prepared and proficient in
96
written communications
skills. Thus, this condition
was met, except for written
communications skills in
2014.
Learning Outcome 2
Expectation:
demonstrate counseling
techniques to facilitate
behavior change.
Learning Outcome 2
Conditions of success:
80 percent of students will

(Major Emphasis) A. New or Revised Outcomes in Student Learning, administrative or support
areas.
Progress: Following the departmental program review in 2011, a departmental “Learning
Outcomes Assessment Committee” was appointed by the Department Head. The committee
includes the 3 undergraduate program directors, the undergraduate coordinator, the director of
the graduate MS-DI program, and the graduate coordinator. Barbara Grossman chairs this
committee and is responsible for submitting an annual report including the results of the learning
outcome assessments plans to the Office of Academic Planning each October.
Each year the FDN Learning Outcomes Assessment Committee carefully evaluates the learning
outcomes assessment plans for each undergraduate and graduate dietetic program. The
departmental program assessment plans were reviewed and approved by the Associate Director
for Assessment, Office of Academic Planning.
During the academic year 2013-2014, the new learning outcome assessment plans were used by
each program director to evaluate each program. The findings from the learning outcome
assessments for each program for fall 2013 and spring 2014 are reported above (data for Fall
2014 are unavailable at this time).
(Major Emphasis) B. New methods of assessing outcomes in student learning, administrative or
support areas
Progress: The outcomes from the assessment plans indicate that student learning meets the goals
of each learning outcome assessment plan for each undergraduate and graduate program. This
demonstrates that the faculty have effectively designed and delivered the course content in a
manner that resulted in a very high level of student learning.
(Major Emphasis) C. Changes or improvements made in programs or processes (as a result of
Progress: With the development and implementation of these new assessment plans, faculty
track changes in learning outcomes as curriculum modifications are made.
(Major Emphasis) D. Evidence of improvement in effectiveness (as a result of changes. Include
evidence of improved learning outcomes, improved support or administrative services, or
improved outcomes in special programs or projects.)
Progress: Barbara Grossman chaired the new FDN Learning Outcomes Assessment committee
and is responsible for ensuring the appropriate records are kept by each program director. Dr.
Grossman then requests the outcomes for each program plan and submits the results to the Office
of Academic Planning each October.
104
All deficiencies in departmental learning outcomes assessment plans that were identified during
the process of the program review have been adequately addressed based on feedback from the
Office of Academic Planning.

All of the
participants
reported the
schools were very
111
helpful in making
them think about
changing their
eating and
physical activity
habits to reduce
their cancer risk
and in choosing
foods at the
grocery store to
reduce cancer
risk. They also
stated that the
schools were very
important in
encouraging them
to be screened for
breast, cervical
and colorectal
cancer.
The participants

evaluations
yielded 328
completed farmer
evaluations and
114 completed
market manager
evaluations.
Knowledge of
food safety issues
is the first step
toward foodborne
illness risk
reduction. Data
analysis indicates
that farmers
improved their
knowledge of the
following factors
related to
enhancing the
safety of produce:
using land
suitable for
growing edible
crops (proper
animal waste
management, lack
of run-off, lack or
flooding, etc.) 68.19%
(p<0.0001). Use
of suitably clean
water for
irrigation and
washing - 66.35%
(p<0.0001).
Proper use of
manure - 71.25%
(p<0.0001).
Issues related to
farm worker
health and
hygiene - 64.23%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
availability of
toilet and
handwashing
facilities 66.97%
(p<0.0001).
Harvesting and
storage practices 74.62%
(p<0.0001).
Handling during
transport to
market - 75.53%
118
(p<0.0001).
Market managers
improved their
knowledge of the
following factors
related to food
safety in the
marketplace.
Importance of
asking vendors
questions about
produce handling
- 91.23%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
having written
food safety rules
for the market 87.72%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
providing training
for market
workers - 84.21%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
providing toilet
and handwashing
facilities 68.42%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
having policies
about sick
workers - 83.34%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
using new or
sanitizable
containers 92.1%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
cleaning and
sanitizing in the
119
market - 85.96%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
preventing crosscontamination 63.16%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
using food
thermometers in
the market 80.70%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
keeping cut
produce on ice or
refrigerated 89.47%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
keeping hot food
above 135F for
sampling 79.83% (p<0.0001).
Importance of
providing hand
sanitizer - 75.44%
(p<0.0001).
Importance of
having a "No Pets
Allowed" policy
in the market 75.44%
(p<0.0001). To
summarize
outcomes from
behavior change
questions, 18% to
64% of farmers
indicated changes
they intend to
make in 16
practices that
affect produce
120
safety (lower
percents represent
more expensive
changes such as
irrigation
methods). 42% to
73% of market
managers intend
to change 14
practices that
affect safety of
produce sold in
farmers markets
(lowest % is
instituting a “no
pets” policy –
controversial
issue. Managers
indicate wanting
to implement this,
but customers
leave and farmers
do not want to
drive away
business.)

The process of developing a new strategic plan for the department was initiated in January 2014
with the appointment of a Strategic Planning Committee comprised of a senior faculty member,
Rick Lewis (chair), an Associate Professor, Joan Fischer, and an Assistant Professor, Rob
Pazdro. The committee along with the department head met with Steve Dempsey, Associate VP
for Public Service and Outreach who provided guidance during the planning process. Over the
course of 4 months, a questionnaire was developed as a mechanism to get faculty input as to their
perceptions regarding strategic goals for the department within the categories of Instruction,
Research, and Extension/Outreach as well as suggested strategies to achieve these goals. The
feedback from faculty was used by the committee to prepare a rough draft of a new departmental
strategic plan which was distributed to faculty prior to the departmental strategic planning retreat
held in May, 2014. During the day-long retreat each component of the strategic plan was
discussed, goals prioritized and strategies to address each goal defined. Following the retreat the
committee prepared a revised draft of the strategic plan that was discussed and voted on in a
faculty meeting. The department head then assigned strategies to either existing committees or
new committees with a specific timeline to begin the task of developing an “action plan” for
implementation. Each committee will report on their assigned progress on strategies at the 2015
departmental retreat scheduled for April, 2015. The goals as defined in the new strategic plan
are listed below. Progress on these goals or revisions to these goals will be reported in next
year’s annual report.
A.
Strategic Plan Goals
Goal 1: Enhance the quality of research and increase external research support.
Goal 2: Enhance communication/awareness of faculty research.
Goal 3: Strengthen PhD program by increasing number of PhD students entering department by
at least 3 per year.
Goal 4: Increase opportunities within the MS program to prepare for future trends in Foods and
Nutritional Sciences.
Goal 5: Increase online education available at the graduate level by two courses by 2016.
Goal 6: Increase availability of online undergraduate courses by 50% over the next 5 years.
Goal 7: Effectively manage undergraduate program with increasing enrollment.
130
Goal 8: Identify trends in foods and nutrition, and revise curriculum to reflect trends and national
needs.
Goal 9: Create diversity through educational opportunities to increase knowledge about diverse
populations.
Goal 10: Increased communication within the department and college.
Goal 11: Promote and support junior faculty.
Goal 12: Increase visibility of department in Georgia, nation and world.
B.
Progress will be reported on next year.

encompasses differences of culture, background and experience among individuals and groups.
Such differences include, but are not limited to, differences of race, ethnicity, national origin,
color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and abilities, as well as political and
religious affiliation and socioeconomic status. The College of Family and Consumer Sciences at
the University of Georgia embraces a commitment to diversity by modeling for the state and
nation, a community of individuals and programs which seek to reduce prejudice, disparities, and
Barbara Grossman serves as Chair of the FDNS Diversity Committee. The committee is in
charge of meeting the strategic plan goal of “Create diversity through educational opportunities
to increase knowledge about diverse populations”.
Alex Anderson serves a member of the Diversity Committee in the Department of Foods and
Nutrition. Dr. Anderson has also been a faculty mentee for the Connections Program through the
Office of Institutional Diversity. The Connections Program seeks to support the engagement of
historically underrepresented minority students at UGA. Connections is a program to help
support students in their first year. The purpose of the program is to increase the retention and
success of historically underrepresented minorities at The University of Georgia.

Alex Anderson revised FDNS 5710 to make it a service-learning course for Study Abroad
Programs in the Department of Foods and Nutrition. This course will be offered in summer 2015.
Dr. Anderson had 11 students enroll in 2014. Students conducted community nutrition and health
assessments, education and counseling in selected communities as well as hospital observations
and hands-on practice in selected hospitals in Ghana. Students received credits in either FDNS
3010, FDNS 5710, and/or 6580.
A new Study Abroad to Costa Rica was offered by Dr. Vanessa de Silva. Nine UGA students
were part of the program placed in the SERVICIO DE NUTRICIÓN - HOSPITAL DR. R. A.
CALDERÓN GUARDIA during the maymester in San Jose, Costa Rica.
A new exchange program in the culinary sciences was researched by Dr. Alex Anderson. This
exchange program is between UGA and LaSalle Beauvais Institut Polytechnique in France. The
goal of this exchange program would be to provide experiential learning in culinary science to
students in Dietetics and Consumer Foods. The director of the France exchange program visiting
our department and discussed the details of the program and presented a program to interested
students. Three Foods and Nutrition students have registered to participate in the program in
2015 as a result of these efforts.
Several students in FDNS 4630/6630 selected projects with an international focus. These would
include: Emily Pleasance, Foodways of Thailand; Emily Wagener, Foodways of Scotland;
Elizabeth Carr, Foodways of Italy; Samantha Morris, Foodways of the Dominican Republic;
Carly Dickson, Foodways of Italy; and Kathryn Sellman, Foodways of the Maori People of New
Zealand.

The Department of Foods and Nutrition, in collaboration with Tufts University and other
international institutions, is yielding fruits as we are currently conducting pilot studies in Ghana
and other international sites to obtain data to support extramural grant applications.
The International Obesity Consortium is made of group of researchers from different countries
who have come together to conduct research to identity common and unique dietary and
behavioral factors that contribute to obesity and related diseases including diabetes and
cardiovascular diseases in different countries. The information to be gathered will be used to
develop country-specific interventions for effective, sustainable weight loss and improved health.
At the moment we are in the phase of collecting cross-sectional preliminary data from the
member countries to be used to support research grant proposal to the NIH and WHO. While
some of the member countries have completed their preliminary data collection some are still in
the process of collecting the preliminary data. Ghana, where I am a co-PI is still collecting
preliminary data,
132
The countries in the Consortium are United States, Brazil, China, Finland, India, Kuwait and
Ghana. Information on the IOC can be found at this link http://hnrca.tufts.edu/iocabout/

Dr. Alex Anderson received a Support Fund from the Office of International Education at The
University of Georgia to attend the Workshop on Intercultural Skill Enhancement (WISE) 2015
Conference to enhance the content of international service-learning programs and increase global
content of courses.

Faculty Scholarly Presentations
I.
The Department of Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) is an excellent
representative of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS), across its
research, teaching, and outreach missions.
In terms of research and scholarship, all of our faculty members, including lecturers, have
published or accepted articles; some faculty have book projects in press or under
contract. The total number of scholarly products includes 4 books, 10 chapters, and 66
journal articles and/or other publications. One extremely productive faculty member
authored 16 published papers in 2014 alone in high quality refereed journals with HDFS
students, postdocs, and colleagues. HDFS faculty presented at scholarly conferences (23
international, 47 national) and made scholarly presentations at numerous regional, state
and “local” meetings held as near to UGA as Athens and as far away as Brazil and
Taiwan. Our faculty members are editorial board members of 20 journals and/or ad hoc
reviewers for 48 of the leading journals relevant to our field.
In 2014, HDFS submitted a total of 11 research proposals, 5 of which were funded
exceeding 2 million dollars. They submitted 12 outreach/extension proposals of which 5
were awarded worth 1.1 million. Our initiatives are centered on pivotal societal issues
that involve children, families, their fathers, caregivers, and systems of building
community capacity for understanding, serving, and reaching youth, couples, and
families with important translational information that is designed to prevent relational
problems and enhance positive well-being.
In summary, using several overarching indicators, HDFS as a department is still making
important contributions to the research and translation of research at UGA and for the
State of Georgia and beyond.
187
II.
A. Quality of Instruction - In HDFS both tenure-track faculty and lecturers contribute to
undergraduate and graduate teaching. Our faculty are noted by the Center for
Teaching and Learning for being Online Fellow (Gonyea), experts in experiential and
service learning (Landers-Potts) and for being recognized as superb teachers (Kozak
recognized by Center for Teaching and Learning as “Teacher of the Week”).
In terms of the standardized assessment of instructional quality, the overall mean
score of student evaluations (using new weighted means across 10 evaluative
questions) for all HDFS courses was 4.48: Spring 2014 – 4.27; Summer 2014 - 4.62;
and Fall 2014 - 4.55. (5=Exceptional; 4=Superior). This score is consistent with the
previous five years’ scores which have ranged from 4.46 to 4.59 2013: 4.53; 2012:
4.53; 2011: 4.58; 2010: 4.52; 2009: 4.54.
B. Majors, Minors and Certificates
The department offers a major and minor in Human Development and Family
Science, an emphasis in Child Life for both the BA and MA degrees, and graduate
certificates in marriage and family therapy and a recently added certificate program in
quantitative research methods for the Ph.D.
1. Undergraduate emphasis in Child Life
The University of Georgia / Georgia Regents University (UGA/ GRU) Child Life
training program is a degree emphasis in the UGA Department of Human
Development and Family Science. The purpose of this emphasis is to prepare
students to work in healthcare settings with children and families. GRU accepted
four students for the 2014-2015 academic year; and four students for 2015-2016.
This collaborative program is a strong and successful one and has been operating
for more than 18 years.
2. The Graduate Programs
a. MS Degree with Emphasis in Child Life
The Human Development and Family Science graduate emphasis in Child
Life is also viewed as very successful. Graduates of this program help to meet
the psychosocial needs of children and families facing medical challenges.
Graduate students take the Human Development and Family Science core
courses along with courses directed to their professional interests. Graduate
students participate in practicums at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta one
day a week for a minimum of two to three semesters. Additionally, students
have been successful at securing and completing some of the most highly
competitive 16 week internships in the country. These students are very
marketable after completing their internships and obtain child life positions in
health care settings. Three child life emphasis graduate students graduated in
188
2014 and another six child life emphasis students anticipate graduating in
2015. Currently, HDFS is advancing plans for an accelerated bachelor’s to
masters program with an emphasis in Child Life. This will be congruent with
Child Life Council plans in 2022 to require a Master’s degree for certification
in Child Life
(http://www.childlife.org/Certification/Getting%20Certified/EligibilityChange
s2019.cfm).
b. The Doctoral Degree with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy
According to the annual report for the Commission on Accreditation for
Marriage and Family Therapy Education, 33 students have entered the
Marriage and Therapy program since 2005. Of these, five changed to the
HDFS doctoral program; one changed to another program at UGA; four
moved to other institutions; six moved to other interests; eight are still
working to complete their degree; nine have graduated the program – three in
the advertised minimum time allowable.
c. The Doctoral Degree in Human Development and Family Science as of Fall
2014 has 16 students enrolled in the program of study.

IV.
HDFS faculty are productive in terms of research and scholarship; all of our faculty members,
including lecturers, have published or accepted articles; some faculty have book projects in press
or under contract. The total number of scholarly products includes 4 books, 10 chapters, and 66
journal articles and/or other publications. One extremely productive faculty member authored 16
published papers in 2014 alone in high quality refereed journals with HDFS students, postdocs,
and colleagues. HDFS faculty presented at scholarly conferences (23 international, 47 national)
and made scholarly presentations at numerous regional, state and “local” meetings held as near
to UGA as Athens and as far away as Brazil and Taiwan.
A. Active Research Grants/ Contracts
Faculty in HDFS have submitted 11 research proposals, 5 of which were funded. It does
not include awards of HDFS faculty that are collaborative at other institutions like
Smith’s NIDA award in 2014 for $528,935. However, this is an overall decrease in
proposals and awards from the previous year. It is expected that faculty who are
successful in being awarded grants are engaged in successfully managing the current
awards. Our goal will be endeavor to increase submissions and awards in 2015.

HDFS faculty without EFT or assignments specifically in Extension or Public Service and
Outreach continue to incorporate outreach efforts in their classrooms and in their research:
Bermudez, M. Provides supervision for students offering therapy to Spanish and Latino clients
at the ASPIRE Clinic.
Gale, J. organized meetings of the American Family Therapy Academy Conference and a
statewide conference on obesity. As part of a joint program between the University Andina of
Cusco and several universities in Israel, Dr. Gale led workshops addressing issues on domestic
violence and systems theory in Cusco, Peru, (Summer 2014).
E. Smith continues to offer training to out-of-school time caregivers as part of her experimental
randomized trial to improve the quality of the setting, reducing youth behavioral problems and
increasing their positive youth developmental trajectories. J. George & E. Smith forged a
connection between the Boys and Girls Club of Athens to further disseminate training and
technical assistance to afterschool staff as part of an after school grant initiative.
S. Kogan, collaborates with Ted Futris in creating science-based intervention projects for the
Strengthening African American Families program through the Center for Family Research.
M. Kozak serves as a board member on the Community Garden Network, serving as a resource
for community gardens, specifically school gardens in the Athens area. She coordinates family
activities at the Athens Farmers Market and organizes monthly events with Athens Farm to
School program, which engages community members around Farm to School advocacy and
education.
M. Landers-Potts serves as the Coordinator for a service learning course on Adolescent
Development – 25 high school students per semester receive tutoring and mentoring from UGA
students who are studying adolescent development. In addition, in 2014, the HDFS student in her
HDFS3700E course produced a handbook to be used by current service-learners on the UGA
campus who are working with adolescents in the community.

Child Development Lab at the McPhaul Center
The Child Development Lab (CDL) at the McPhaul Center currently has six active classrooms
with a total of 93 children. The Georgia Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) program, located at the
River’s Crossing building, offers a 6 ½ hour instructional day to 22 age-eligible children. Pre-K
is funded by Bright from the Start, Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. Pre-K
children who need care beyond the instructional day can stay for the Extended Day Program,
available from 2:30-5:30 p.m. Full day program (7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) at the CDL include an
infant classroom serving eight infants, a young toddler classroom serving 12 children, an older
toddler serving 15 children and two multi-age classrooms (with 18 children in each) serving
three- and four-year-olds.
The Child Development Lab has a service component as well as teaching, research and outreach
201
components. Many students across campus from various departments (Human Development and
Family Science, Education, Special Education, Psychology, Art Education, Kinesiology) utilize
CDL and Athens Technical College also utilizes the CDL for teaching purposes. CDL teachers
provide guidance to the students and model developmentally appropriate practice for young
children.
2.
HDFS at the Aspire Clinic
The ASPIRE is a unique setting that provides interdisciplinary services to the University and NE
Georgia community. HDFS students in the MFT doctoral program see clients there and work
collaboratively with students from HACE, TMI and FDN. Law students are also active in the
ASPIRE clinic. Clinical supervision is provided year-round by Drs. Gale, Bermudez and
Seponski. In the HDFS MFT practicums, there are often students from other FACS departments
also present. The Aspire clinic had about 130 family therapy clients and 75 financial clients
(where there can be overlap) in 2014. The MFT program is accredited with COAMFTE and the
doctoral students meet accreditation requirements through seeing clients at ASPIRE.
Additionally undergraduate students in HDFS have done internships at ASPIRE. There may be
2-5 HDFS student interns in any one semester. In this capacity they have been actively involved
in doing intakes, data collection, participating in clinical case discussions and observations. Over
the years, a number of undergrad students doing this internship have gone on to get masters’ and
doctoral degrees in HDFS and family therapy programs.
Graduate students are involved with ongoing outreach with Latino children and their families
(Project LEAF). Faculty and graduate students collaborate with a local refugee resettlement
organization to provide a Refugee Resource Service that addresses physical, mental, and social
issues relevant to newly arrived refugees. This program works through both UGA, the ASPIRE
clinic and community collaborations.
3. UGA Extension
UGA Extension faculty serve as the primary conduit through which information generated in the
discipline is distributed to professionals and citizens in Georgia, as well as across the nation. Faculty
with Extension appointments work collaboratively with numerous stakeholders and partners to
identify and address the educational needs related to child and family development. Such
information exchange and program building were carried out through numerous publications,
presentations and trainings, resource and program development and dissemination, and applied
research. Below are examples of these initiatives:
Brain Development. Dr. Diane Bales is co-leader of the statewide Better Brains for Babies (BBB)
initiative to increase awareness of the importance of early brain development. Extension’s
responsibilities include review and translation of brain development research, training educators,
website development and maintenance, sharing brain research through social media, presentations
and exhibits at state and national conferences, and many other tasks. Better Brains for Babies is
funded by the Governor’s Office for Children and Families.
202
Eat Healthy, Be Active. Dr. Bales provides leadership for the Eat Healthy, Be Active initiative,
which helps teachers and families teach nutrition and physical activity concepts to 3- to 5-year-olds,
using hands-on activities and family involvement materials. During 2014, Dr. Bales and
collaborators developed, pilot-tested, and revised more than 100 hands-on activities for children;
developed and pilot-tested family involvement materials for use in the initiative; and developed a
comprehensive training series that Extension agents can use to prepare preschool teachers to
implement Eat Healthy, Be Active in their early childhood programs.
Child Care Provider Education. Extension provided a significant number of hours of communitybased training in 2014 to help 1,193 child care providers meet training requirements. Extension
faculty provide direct training to child care providers, teach in-service classes on child care to
Extension agents, and develop and evaluate childcare training curricula. In 2014, the Injury
Prevention and Control lesson developed and piloted by a team of Extension agents received the
state and regional Curriculum Package awards from the National Extension Association of Family
and Consumer Sciences, and received second place in the national award competition.
Relationship Education for Youth. Dr. Ted Futris provided training, technical assistance, and
evaluation support to county agents who worked with 132 youth across Georgia (3410 since 2009) to
foster healthy relationship skills. As well, in partnership with the Georgia Division of Family and
Children Services and with funding from the Family and Youth Services Bureau, he trained 108
professionals to integrate relationship education with sex education to delay sexual activity and
reduce pregnancy among at-risk youth across 10 counties in Georgia.
Strengthening Couple and Family Relationships. Dr. Ted Futris also provides primary state and
national leadership on the development of resources to promote healthy couple relationships. In
2014, an additional 105 professionals across Georgia (518 since 2011) completed Dr. Futris’ Healthy
Relationship and Marriage Education Training (HRMET), developed with funding from the
Administration on Children, Youth and Families Children’s Bureau. He also co-authored and
launched ELEVATE: Taking Your Relationship to the Next Level, an eight-hour curriculum that helps
couples understand the physiology of human interactions and teaches them practical skills to
regulate their heart-brain response to stressful triggers and maintain healthy relationships. He trained
75 educators in Alabama to implement ELEVATE, and is preparing to pilot the program in Georgia.
Traffic-related Injury Prevention. Extension continued its long-running leadership of childhood
injury prevention through programming conducted by the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute
(GTIPI). Funded by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety ($640,000), Extension provides child
passenger safety trainings as well as teen and senior driving education. For the grant year ending
Sept 30, 2014, GTIPI staff certified 192 new Child Passenger Safety Technicians and 58 new CarFit
technicians, certified (or recertified) 161 PRIDE (parent-teen driving) instructors who reached 2,600
teens and parents, and distributed nearly 1.1 million educational publications.

A. Active Public Service and Outreach Grants/ Contracts
In terms of Public Service and Outreach Proposals, HDFS faculty submitted
proposals, a slight increase from 2013, of which 5 were funded for a total of 1.1
million, slightly less than the 1.2 million in 2013 but more overall submissions, a
trend which we aspire to continue the increase in both the number and amount of
awards.

VI.
A.
Attained Goals
Goal 1: Welcome new Department Head.
Progress: Dr. Emilie Smith officially joined the department as the Janette McGarity Barber
Distinguished Professor and Head of HDFS August 2014. The professorship was established to
honor Janette McGarity Barber who was known for her strong progressive qualities, dedication
to academic excellence and service toward improving the lives of children, youth and families.
Dr. Smith’s research informs prevention strategies for families and community-based caregivers.
Goal 2: Development of a plan to implement to increase undergraduate enrollment in the HDFS
major.
Progress: Faculty, advisors and students will participate in the Academic Majors Fair and
increase presence and awareness of the HDFS major. Though the major is very successful and
popular, the Undergraduate Committee is currently working on a specific plan to convert HDFS
minors into majors.
Goal 3: Improve research methodology preparation at the undergraduate level.
Progress: The Department offers HDFS 5100: Research Methods. We are also emphasizing
joint faculty-undergrad research opportunities through the CURO initiative, which equips
exceptional undergrad students with research experience and our own newly instituted research
symposium in 2015. A required internship for all HDFS majors has been phased in and provides
the option for a research internship.
Goal 4: Expansion of faculty positions.
Progress: Three faculty searches were approved and launched Spring 2014 resulting in two
assistant professors joining the faculty, one in August 2014 and one in January 2015 and one
lecturer joining the faculty August 2014. Dr. Wickrama was appointed as the Endowed Athletic
Association Professor. A second UGA Athletic Association endowed professorship was
approved and a search launched Fall 2014 for a senior faculty member with expertise in child
health disparities.
Goal 5: Increase the proportion of HDFS faculty who are submitting grant proposals that seek
support through external funding.
Progress: 11 faculty submitted external proposals in 2014, less than the 24 who submitted in
2013. This is an area for further development to assist faculty in developing and continuing their
grant initiatives. However, the number of outreach and extension proposals submitted increased
209
by 20% in 2014.
Goal 6: Transition to new leadership in the Child Life option for undergraduate and graduate
students as occasioned by the retirement of Dr. Wallinga.
Progress: Dr. Denise Lewis and Dr. Jay Mancini supported Child Life students in their program
of study Fall 2014 and will provide support to Dr. Laura McKee who will begin January 2015.
Dr. McKee, Dr. Smith and Dr. Mancini began the process of crafting a new administrative plan
for the emphasis in December 2014 which will include the hiring of a Clinical Assistant
Professor to assist in instruction, supervision of Child Life students and additional grants and
training opportunities relevant to child health and development. .
Goal 7: Increase the potential and the profile of faculty engaged in prevention sciences. Develop
a proposal for a multi-disciplinary graduate program, preferably a Ph.D. in prevention sciences.
Progress: Conversations continue about how the current HDFS focus aligns with prevention
science. Currently many HDFS courses are found in programs called prevention science.
Currently several faculty are conducting projects that are considered prevention science (Brody,
Futris, Kogan, Mancini, and Smith as examples).
Goal 8: Complete the implementation of the new undergraduate required internship program.
Progress: Curriculum updated and approved through CAPA and University Curriculum Systems
to reflect a graded A-F internship course. Dramatic progress has been made, under the direction
of Melissa Kozak, HDFS Lecturer, to identify new internship sites. A new lecturer, Dr. Jennifer
George is shadowing Dr. Kozak to enable a plan that allows the two to rotate their teaching of
the pre-internship course and supervision of an entire cohort of internship students.
Goal 9: Implement new graduate level Certificate in Quantitative Methods in Family Science
(QMFS):
Progress: The QMFS was fully approved by UGA. The two new faculty members in child
development will teach in the certificate program.
Goal 10: Show evidence of efforts to enhance the visibility of HDFS faculty accomplishments.
Progress: HDFS Faculty publications have increased from 37 in 2013 to 66 in 2014 many in
high-ranking outlets. HDFS faculty have won College and University awards for mentoring
(Lewis), and teaching (Kozak). Mancini has been awarded an international award for his
research with military families. Support of guest speakers and lecturers who present to the
department and university increase opportunities for faculty and students to interact with national
and international scholars and increases the visibility of HDFS and FACS faculty and students.
Several HDFS faculty (Gale, Oshri, Seponski, Wickrama) and graduate student award winners
(Lorien, Hicks) have been featured on the UGA website.
210
Goal 11: Facilitate the effective working relationships among all FACS Extension Specialists
between FACS Extension Specialists and agents and collaborators.
Progress: Pending.
Goal 12: Facilitate the effective working relationships and expanded opportunities for HDFS
faculty with centers and institutes, e.g. Family Research Center, Institute for Behavioral
Research, Institute for Human Development and Disabilities, departments of sociology and
psychology, College of Education.
Progress: Several faculty have jointly authored research proposals with CFR and IBR entities
(see above sections). Keith Campbell, psychology department head, was a member of the HDFS
faculty search committee.
VII. PROGRESS IN DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Specific actions in the past year by the department in support of Diversity and Inclusion defined in
the college as: “Diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. The term “diversity” encompasses
differences of culture, background and experience among individuals and groups. Such differences
include, but are not limited to, differences of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, gender, sexual
orientation, gender identity, age and abilities as well as political and religious affiliation and
socioeconomic status. The College of Family and consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia
embraces a commitment to diversity b modeling for the state and nation, a community of individuals
and programs which seek to reduce prejudice, disparities and discrimination and build a supportive
environment for all.”
The graduate program includes a guest lecture from a representative of the Equal Opportunity
Office. This lecture covers information and scenarios associated with discrimination and
harassment. Attendance is mandatory for all incoming graduate students and is provided as part
of the professionalization seminar (HDFS8910). A focused recruitment strategy to increase the
number of African American students in the graduate program has been planned and scheduled
for spring 2015. Faculty and 2 African American graduate students will attend spring recruitment
events at the Atlanta University Center. Graduate students also are provided information on
interdisciplinary opportunities and are encouraged to form collaborative projects. HDFS students
engage in research outside HDFS with students from within and outside FACS (e.g., SPIA,
Public Health, Franklin (Spanish, Sociology, and Psychology).
Also, as the request of the Provost, HDFS participated in a talk and visits by a scholar for a
potential opportunity hire along with the Departments of Social Work, Sociology, and
Psychology, Dr. LaToya Coleman. With further postdoctoral training and preparation, this
could be a viable candidate for a faculty position. In Fall of 2014, the Department Head made
plans to bring in potential opportunity scholar, Dr. Shauna Cooper (Ph.D., University of
Michigan, Postdoc, University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Center for Developmental
Science) to give a talk on Fatherhood and discuss her funded research with potential funded
211
collaborating faculty in HDFS (e.g. Kogan, Brown, McKee, Oshri, Bryant).
The HDFS curriculum has historically attended to issues of diversity through inclusion of
diversity in the myriad ways its impact is felt by families. For example,
• HDFS included the upper division course in Diversity (HDFS 4330) as a required course
in 2010.
• The department uses person first, strengths based, inclusive language in all HDFS
courses. Examples are:
o non-heterosexist language in family and couple courses
o non-pathologizing ways of referring to multiple family forms, and
o non-pathologizing ways of referring to individuals with disabilities
• The department actively engages in presenting literature and empirical evidence for
multiple groups of individuals and families, with specific attention to the different
experiences of individuals and families to include, but not limited to
o individuals who identify as belonging to minority groups based on race, ethnicity,
sexual identity
o families from multiple socioeconomic statuses
o non-native families,
o disparities in access to institutions such as healthcare and education

This year, HDFS is implementing their involvement in the Summer 2015 London Study Abroad
program which includes one doctoral candidate, and 28 undergraduate students led by Graduate
Coordinator, Dr. Denise Lewis.
B.
Dr. Bermudez has been invited by colleagues from Lewis & Clark University to co-author an
advanced Marriage and Family Therapy diversity book related to social justice and decolonizing
clinical and research processes, based from her two invited international presentations in Puebla,
Mexico.
Dr. Hsu has a faculty development leave Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 to serve as PI on an
internationally funded grant “The role of social support in postpartum adjustment of mothers of
preterm infants in Taiwan, funded by the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation, ($25,000). There she
has presented at a number of conferences, seminars and given local presentations at the National
University of Taiwan.
Dr. Smith chaired a symposium at the International Conference for Community Psychology in
Fortaleza Brazil on “Bridging Families, Schools, and Communityes to Support Youth:
Implications for Research, Practice, and Policy including presenters from University of Georgia,
Penn State, Yale, and the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. She co-presented a paper
212
with Dr. Dawn Witherspoon of Penn State entitled Youth’s Collective Efficacy: Building
Empowerment and Positive Youth Development in an Afterschool Setting using a Cooperative
Game.
International opportunities within the department are facilitated through the renewal of the
International Cooperative Agreement with the Royal University of Phnom Penh (Cambodia). At
least one doctoral student may decide to travel to Cambodia for research.
HDFS supports students to attend international conferences (e.g., Society for Cross-Cultural
Research, Humanitarian Innovation Conference, International Family Therapy Association
World Congress). Other international research includes studies done in Caribbean countries,
Israel, the Philippines, and South Korea. International students make up approximately 25% of
our graduate students body (from China, Kenya, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey). One
doctoral student conducted research in Israel during summer 2014. Graduate students also are
involved with ongoing outreach with Latino children and their families (Project LEAF). Faculty
and graduate students collaborate with a local refugee resettlement organization to provide a
Refugee Resource Service that addresses physical, mental, and social issues relevant to newly
arrived refugees. This program works through both UGA and community collaborations.

Overall the TMI department had a healthy year with many positive activities: new faculty hires,
facility changes, and new and continuing experiential learning activities for undergraduate
students, opportunities for graduate students to present research at national and regional
conferences, and alumni guest speakers coming to Fashion Merchandising and Furnishings and
Interiors classes.
Facilities
Dr. Jose Blanco, graduate students, and student volunteers began the move of the Historic
Clothing and Textiles Collection to the Special Collection library vault. In preparation of the
physical move of items, each garment and accessory is photographed, documented into the
software database, and prepared for the move through acid free boxes or as hanging garments.
With the removal of the HCTC items, Dawson 301 will return to a classroom. TMI department
head in working with Dean Fox submitted a request for MRR funds to cover the cost of
renovation of 301 to an innovation lab.
Undergraduate Activities
Six TMI undergraduate students presented research papers at CURO on March 31. These
included Mallory Cox, Lindsay Nation, Nancy Satola and Devon Sprague under the direction of
Dr. Katalin Medvedev and Molly Dodd and Anne Fernandes under the direction of Dr. Patricia
Hunt-Hurst.
Fashion Week was held Feb. 21 – Feb. 28 with a number of activities. The week ended with
fashion shows by the Student Merchandising Association, and FDSA.
The GSGE foundation voted to rename the scholarships in honor of Charlie Gilbert. Charlie

V. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS – PUBLIC SERVICE & OUTREACH
AND EXTENSION
TMI has no public service, outreach or extension faculty.
VI.
The Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors has made progress in
several strategic goals in 2014.
A. Attained Goals
Goal 1: Conduct a review of the American Apparel and Footwear Association Competencies in
comparison to Fashion Merchandising/Product Development and Design curriculum.
Progress: This goal was achieved in Spring 2014. FM/PD&D curriculum matched at least 70%
of the AAFA competencies and we became an endorsed program. This allows our students to
compete for YMA scholarships.
Goal 2: Emphasize faculty collaborations with students; publish or present research papers coauthored with graduate students.
Progress: This year most research faculty in TMI (Hunt-Hurst, Kim, Medvedev, Minko, Seock
and Sharma) gave research presentations with graduate students and/or had one or more papers
published with graduate students.
255
Goal 3: Create a new tenure track faculty position in the Merchandising area for product
development/global retailing/design with the main responsibilities of undergraduate teaching and
research.
Progress: The Dean approved a proposal to hire an Assistant Professor in Product Development
and Design, the search began during fall semester 2014 with interviews set for spring semester
2015.
Goal 4: Evaluate the Historic Clothing and Textiles workroom and storage space needs.
Progress: The TMI workroom will remain in its location, however in conversation with the
Director of the Special Collections, Dean Fox, Jose Blanco and TMI department head Patricia
Hunt-Hurst it was agreed that moving the collection to the Special Collections library vault
would provide the clothing, textiles, and accessories with museum quality temperature and
humidity control.
B.
Progress: No new goals have been adopted.
VII.
TMI continues to value diversity. We have graduate students representing a variety of cultures,
religions, and races: India, Korea, China, Russia, Ukraine, Iran and the United States. Faculty
members and staff also represent diversity: Costa Rica, Korea, India, Ukraine, and USA.
A.
256
Dr. Kati Medvedev developed a course on Italian Fashion for UGA’s Cortona Program,
she will be the first TMI faculty to participate in the program in spring 2015.
Dr. Patricia Hunt-Hurst directed the Ghana Study Abroad program with 3 students in her
course (Entrepreneurship in Ghana). The three students worked with Athens retailers
(Cheeky Peach, Community, and Fab’rik) and number of women entrepreneurs in Ghana.
Students visited entrepreneurs at work on their creations (bead making, batik,
dressmaking, and kente weaving) and worked with some of the same entrepreneurs in
purchasing clothing and accessories to bring back to the Athens retailers. The James
Family Fund supplied $250 to each student to use in buying products and $1,000 in
scholarship money. A total of 15 students participated in the program offered by the
School of Social Work.
Charles Gilbert directed the China Study Abroad program.
Dr. Katalin Medvedev directed the London Study Abroad program with 25 students.

IHDD is excited to continue our initiatives and activities developed through our current five
years. As specified later, we have a strong extramural funding base funding our successful
programs that serve to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and their
families. Our faculty and staff are tremendously well-regarded both in the state of Georgia and
nationally. Students from across the UGA campus continuously rate their instruction at IHDD
highly and testify to major changes in their careers and life course that occur because of IHDD
classes and programs. IHDD maintains strong partnerships with other units, organizations,
groups, and state agencies are expansive and allow us to leverage and magnify our resources to
achieve significant outcomes for people with disabilities.
Our programs focus on building bridges leading to unconditional and categorical community
inclusion in everyday lives for people with disabilities of all ages. These programs range from:
building capacities of communities to support people with disabilities; to strengthening our
communities through various employment initiatives.
II.
A.
Similar to African-American Studies and Women’s Studies, the Disability Studies Program is
grounded in the civil rights movement. It is based on the idea that as members of the largest
minority group in the US, and one which has historically been marginalized and oppressed,
people with disabilities share a history, a culture, and desire for social, political, and economic
self-determination. Disability is viewed as a natural part of human existence and is therefore a
representation of the diversity which exists amongst human beings. As a field of study, Disability
Studies is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Potential students include those from the
273
educational, medical, and social sciences, but also include students from virtually every
discipline including history, the arts, and humanities.
In 2014, IHDD offered IHDD 2001 twice (Spring and Fall), IHDD 4050/6050 in the Spring,
IHDD 4002S/6002S in the Fall, and IHDD 3010/7010 in all semesters (Spring, Summer and
Fall).
B.
In 2014, there were 47 active Disability Studies Certificate students (3 graduate students and 44
undergraduates). This is a 213% increase from 2013 where there were 15 active Certificate
students. IHDD 2001, Introduction to Disability, was redesigned to meet the core curriculum
requirement for social science for undergraduate students. It was approved in CAPA in 2014 and
submitted to the General Education curriculum system in 2014. It is awaiting curriculum staff
review. A new service-learning course was designed to engage students in understanding
disability in across the lifespan. Disability Issues in Childhood and Adolescence (IHDD
4005S/6005S), passed through all levels of curriculum review in 2014.

D.
In 2014, an increase in enrollment occurred across IHDD courses. Undergraduate enrollment saw
a modest increase (33.75%) from 2013, and graduate student enrollment increased substantially
from 2 students in 2013 to 14 students.

areas.
In 2014, the learning objectives for 6 IHDD courses (2001, 4002/6002, 4005/6002, 4050/6050,
5720/7720, and 6001) were redesigned using Fink’s (2013) model for creating significant
learning experiences. Further, the objectives for IHDD 2001 were re-designed to meet the
General Curriculum Core requirements for Social Science and Diversity.
support areas
In 2014, the methods of assessing student learning outcomes in all of the aforementioned courses
were redesigned as well to align with best practices in higher education as described by Fink
(2013). These new methods include reflective writing, response papers, critical analysis of film
and literature, group presentations, student-led class discussions, and the creation of products to
improve supports for people with disabilities in community settings.
In 2014, improvements to the Disability Studies Certificate program were made to include a
focus on service-learning. To that end, IHDD 5702S/7720S was incorporated into the Certificate
curriculum, IHDD 4002S/6002S was redesigned to add the ‘S’ designation, and 4005S/6005S
was created. IHDD 4002S/6002S was offered in the Fall. Twenty-four students provided 20
hours of service to a disability provider organization in Athens. Learning objectives were
assessed via in-class discussions, reflective writing, and the production of a strengths-based
portfolio with an adult with a disability. Results indicated that students demonstrated competence
in their ability to:
1.
Identify social/environmental barriers to adult life for people with a disability.
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of strengths-based approaches to understanding adults with
disabilities.
3.
Apply course material to understanding the lives of adults living with disabilities in our
community through service-learning.
4.
Interact with adults with disabilities in an age appropriate manner.
5.
Challenge negative/ pitying attitudes toward adults with disabilities.
276
6.
Integrate student knowledge into tools for empowering individuals, families, and /or
organizations in our community.
Evidence of improvements in students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward people with
disability was collected via pre/post service survey and in reflection papers. Data are being
analyzed, but preliminary findings suggest that service-learning affected student’ emotions,
cognitions and behavior positively. Additionally, improved outcomes were reported by the
community partner in that people with disabilities had an increased ability to advocate for
themselves and share who they are via their strengths-based portfolio.

FACULTY RECEIVES FACULTY RESEARCH GRANT (FRG) FROM OVPR (Jinnah)
IHDD received a FRG in 2014 from OVPR to study parental involvement in All-Terrain Vehicle
(ATV) Safety education and youth injury prevention. The number of ATV-related injuries and
fatalities has been increasing exponentially in recent times. Parents play an important role in
ensuring youth safety behaviors while operating ATVs. The study aims at developing a story
board for video development and tailored messages targeted at mothers and fathers about youth
ATV safety. Messages will be developed based on formative research focus groups that will be
guided by Protection motivation Theory. IHDD has submitted a larger grant to NIH that will
enable us to develop the videos and implement a family-based safety intervention for youth. The
proposal uses a randomized control design to test and evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.
FACULTY PUBLISHES ON PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN YOUTH
INJURY/DISABILITY PREVENTION (Stoneman, Jinnah)
In 2014, researchers at IHDD published seminal articles in highly rated journals like Journal of
Adolescent Health, Journal of Rural Health, and Journal of Rural Mental Health (listed below).
Several other manuscripts are under peer review with journals. These publications were related
to IHDD research focusing on involving parents in youth injury/disability prevention. Farm
injury and death rates in the Southern region of the U.S. are particularly high with 40% of the
farm youth fatalities and 30% of youth injuries reported nationwide. Most farm injuries lead to
significant disabilities in youth; many of which can be easily prevented. Results from the
AgTeen Randomized Control Study (funded by NIH) revealed that involving fathers in teaching
youth about safety leads to positive behavioral changes for fathers as well as youth on key safety
behaviors. When farmers recognize that they are powerful models for youth, they are more
willing to adopt safer practices themselves, in order to protect their youth. These results suggest
that farm safety interventions are most effective when parents are involved as teachers and
models of safety for youth.
277
FACULTY PUBLISHES ON USE OF AUGUMENTATIVE AND ALERNATIVE
COMMUNICATION (Rackensperger)
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) allows individuals with complex
communication needs to interact with the world around them. Individuals with disabilities who
experience difficulty with others understanding them have great risks of seclusion, segregation,
and their abilities misinterpreted. With the proper supports, individuals with complex
communication needs can accomplish life’s milestones, including making successful transitions
into adulthood. In 2014, in collaboration with faculty from Penn State University, IHDD faculty
published a manuscript in the Work journal entitled, "Home is at work and work is at home":
Telework and individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication. For individuals
who use AAC the traditional workplace brings challenges with respect to transportation,
technology access, and activities of daily living. This study was designed to address four major
questions: (a) what types of telework employment are currently observed for individuals who use
AAC? (b) What are the benefits of telework as described by individuals who use AAC? and; (c)
What are the challenges to promote successful telework experiences for individuals who use
AAC? In this study, nine individuals who use AAC and who are engaged in telework
employment activities participated in an online focus group discussion. Participants identified
clear advantages to telework over traditional office activities, including flexibility of scheduling
and increased efficiency. At the same time, participants spoke of a need to be proactive in
addressing challenges associated with telework, including developing techniques for regular
communication with fellow workers, and utilizing strategies to ensure receiving regular feedback
from the employer.
FACULTY PUBLISHES ON PREDICTING STAFF TURNOVER FOR DIRECT SUPPORT
PROFESSIONALS (Britton-Laws)
Published in the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities journal,
the study examined staff turnover of direct support professionals. Community-based direct
support professionals (DSPs) face a myriad of challenges on the job that are intensified by the
complexities of supporting people with disabilities who are aging. The purpose of this study was
to compare the variables of job stress/demand, empowerment/control, perceived organizational
support, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and intent to turnover (identified as
attitudinal antecedents to attrition), between DSPs who primarily support aging adults with an
intellectual disability and those who support younger people. Ninety-seven DSPs completed an
online survey. Results indicate that DSPs who support aging adults showed statistically lower
empowerment/control than their peers. Data suggest that they are also at comparatively higher
risk of attrition. Implications and recommendations for strengthening this workforce are shared.
STAFF CONDUCTS RESEARCH ON TRAINING OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
STUDENTS RECEIVE IN THE AREA OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY (Brightwell)
The purpose of the study was to determine the amount of formal training occupational therapy
students receive on assistive technology (AT). Assistive technology recommendations, clinical
placement, and evaluation are critical skills required of occupational therapists. However many
occupational schools still do not offer adequate training in AT. Ideally, students should receive
278
at least one course dedicated to the study of AT. Course descriptions of 151 accredited master’s
level occupational therapy programs were examined. Only 64% of schools had a dedicated AT
course. Of the schools that had a course, 89% required the course to be taken. The findings
underscore the need for more occupational school programs to develop dedicated AT courses.
Findings of the study are being developed into a manuscript for journal submission in 2015.
Similar study is underway for Speech Therapists.
STUDY UNDERWAY TO EXPLORE HOW PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES INTERNALIZE
MESSAGES REGARDING THEIR ABILITY TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY ABOVE THE
POVERTY LEVEL (Rackensperger)
In 2014, a research study was under development entitled Exploring the Reproduction of Poverty
and Governmental Dependence of People with Developmental Disabilities When They Transition
Into Adulthood. It focuses on exploring the roles families, social agencies, and secondary
education systems play in formulating the points of view of individuals with disabilities
regarding their capabilities to live independently, without having to rely on governmental
supports (such as SSI and SSDI). The key research question is the following. How do individuals
with developmental disabilities, at two vital phases in their lives, internalize perceived explicit
and ambiguous messages that secondary education institutions, their own families, and social
service agencies send regarding their abilities to live independently above the poverty level?

FACULTY RECEIVES SERVICE IN REHABILITATION AWARD (Crandell)
Doug Crandell, Public Service Faculty member, was honored at the Georgia Rehabilitation
Association’s (GRA) annual conference in Savannah, Georgia. Crandell received the Service in
Rehabilitation Award, given to an individual for outstanding contributions to the field of
rehabilitation. GRA is a membership organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life
for individuals with disabilities through education and advocacy. Members work together to
promote ethical and state of the art practice in rehabilitation. GRA is part of the National
Rehabilitation Association. “Doug has worked tirelessly to bring agencies together, by building
relationships, starting conversations, and advising on best practices. He has done this not only in
Georgia, but in many states across the country. He has managed, staffed and directed community
mental health and disability programs at the provider level for 25 years, providing customized
and evidence-based practices to people with disabilities and mental illness and their employers,”
said Lauri S. Tuten, Awards Chair for the Georgia Rehabilitation Association.
PROJECTS CONTRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN GEORGIA - The
unemployment rate for adults with disabilities is within the range of 75% to 90%. Most
Georgians with developmental disabilities spend their days in facility-based non-work settings.
Last year 65% - 85% of youth with disabilities graduated from high school in Georgia without
employment in their future. This situation wastes the gifts of people with disabilities, traps
people in poverty, costs tax-payers, and keeps people with disabilities from becoming tax-paying
citizens. The State of Georgia has prioritized a goal of increasing the number of Georgians with
disabilities who are employed at the minimum wage or higher. IHDD has helped increase the
capacity of professionals to aide individuals with disabilities to be gainfully employed at
competitive wages.
MENTAL HEALTH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE - IHDD WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOR EXCELLENCE (Crandell)
In 2014, IHDD continued its’ training and technical assistance relationship with the Department
of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Separate and distinct technical assistance
activities were developed for the Developmental Disabilities and Mental Health divisions. The
280
Department of Justice evaluators noted the technical assistance by IHDD was a significant
element in helping the state mental health program achieves its milestones in employment
programs. TA focused on various providers in Georgia, consisting of on-site technical
assistance, as well as webinar trainings related to evidence-based practices. These have included
personnel from mental health agencies, employment providers, and Vocational Rehabilitation
Counselors. IHDD provided 50 days of Intensive Technical Assistance for 127 staff, through
webinars, in-person training, and on-site facilitation. 94% of the staff completed the training. In
addition, IHDD was contracted to provide four webinars regarding best practices in supported
employment. The topics ranged from disability disclosure to rural job development. Over 300
specialists gained knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to improve employment supports
throughout systems.
VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (Crandell)
Leadership at Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency requested on-going technical assistance
for their Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors on evidence-based and best practices. The TA
was provided in eight locations across the state resulting in 162 Vocational Rehabilitation
Counselors receiving training for which they received CEUs to maintain their Certified
Rehabilitation Counselor status. The learning objectives from the training are below.
PARTNERSHIP WITH UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO (Crandell)
The Partners for Employment initiative is a collaborative approach to increasing employment
outcomes for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The initial partners are
the University of New Mexico, the Department of Health Developmental Disabilities Support
Division and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The primary goal for Partners for
Employment is to build capacity within the state of New Mexico among state agencies
personnel, service providers, family members, self-advocates, employers and other supports.
IHDD staff, Doug Crandell is one of four subject matter experts providing support and training
to the project.
PROVIDES LEADERSHIP TO NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR DIRECT SUPPORT
PROFESSIONALS (Britton-Laws)
The National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals mission is to enhance the quality of
support provided to people with disabilities through the provision of products, services, and
certifications which elevate the status of direct support workers, improve practice standards,
promote systems reform and, most importantly, advance the knowledge, skills, and values of
direct support workers. Carol Britton Laws continued in her role as President of the National
Alliance for Direct Support Professionals. Some noted accomplishments in 2014 included:
- Recognized by the United States Senate and 46 state Governors. This was the most
widely recognized DSP week in its five year history.
- The NADSP reviewed, approved and awarded 162 new certifications to DSPs and
accredited two new training curricula.
281
-
The creation of FLS C-I: an NADSP certification for Frontline Supervisors based on
nationally validated competencies which were developed in 2014.
The development of an NADSP state Chapter in North Carolina.
Conducted a 2 day DSP Leadership Academy as a pre-conference session at AAIDD in
Miami.
NADSP became a partner with the National Leadership Consortium on Developmental
Disabilities at the University of Delaware as one of only ten national partners.
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SHEPHERD CENTER TO FORM THE GEORGIA DISABILITY
HISTORY ALLIANCE (GDHA)
Americans with disabilities are a group of approximately 56.7 million people that today lead
independent, self-affirming lives and who define themselves according to their person-hood –
their ideas, beliefs, hopes and dreams – above and beyond their disability. The ongoing effort of
people with disabilities to gain full citizenship is an important part of our American heritage. The
disability rights movement shares many similarities with other 20th-century civil rights struggles
by those who have been denied equality, independence, autonomy, and full access to society.
We are living in a notable time in history where many critical events in the disability movement
are occurring - from legislative actions to changes in societal views regarding disability.
Understanding the need to preserve this important part of Georgia history, IHDD and The
Shepherd Center formed the Georgia Disability History Alliance. The goal is to bring together
Georgians interested in protecting and preserving the State’s disability history. Over 100
organizations have joined this effort. The Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and
Studies joined the partnership and will house the disability history and artifacts collection. Many
disability leaders, organizations, advocates, and self-advocates have donated items to the
collection. Learn more at www.historyofdisability.com.
GEORGIA ASSOCIATION OF PEOPLE SUPPORTING EMPLOYMENT FIRST (GAPSE)
ANNUAL CONFERENCE HELD (Patrick and Chase)
Faculty planned the 19th annual statewide GA APSE training conference. “Maximizing
Employment through Small Business Relationships” was the conference theme. Conferees
included 112 persons representing direct service providers, persons with disabilities and their
family members, educators, and organization administrators. GAPSE provides our faculty with a
platform to promote Employment First, the elimination of sub-minimum wage, and high quality
credentials for service providers. The administrative office of GAPSE is housed within IHDD.
PROJECT AIDS FARMERS AND RANCHERS WITH DISABILITIES (Brightwell)
IHDD received $485,928 funding from the Clif Bar Family Foundation and the United States of
Agriculture to aide farmer with chronic health conditions and disabilities. Even with
modernization, agricultural production is one of the nation’s most hazardous occupations. Each
year, thousands of people working in agriculture experience injuries that limit their ability to
perform essential farm tasks. Many more become disabled as a result of non-farm injuries,
282
illnesses, other health conditions, and aging. The Farm Again / AgrAbility project enables
farmers to continue doing what they love through work site modifications, business planning,
and other resources.
COMMUNITY BUILDING PROJECTS STREGTHEN COMMUNITIES (Grable)
Threads of Our Community is a project that brings diverse community members together around
common interests. Through storytelling and the arts, the project brings together people with and
without disabilities to form friendships around common causes. IHDD has been working
closely with community members in Tift, Hancock and Baldwin counties. In particular,
Hancock residents have been coming together on a regular basis under the facilitation of IHDD
staff member Gillian Grable. Hancock County was created in 1793 as Georgia’s 15th County,
and the City of Sparta was chartered in 1805. According to 2010 census data, the median
household income in Hancock County was $21,664, and the median family income was $24,044.
About 31.8% of families and 34.8% of the population were below the poverty line. IHDD met
with key stakeholders in Hancock five times (County Commission Chair, the Mayor, business
people, 4-H, Quilting Guild, Fitness Club member, citizen advocacy, for example) to draft plans
for Martin Luther King holiday service day projects, Heritage Quilting Day and public mural
projects. UGA Textile professor has committed to teach citizens about quilts with her students
helping young people. A Georgia College public mural professor will participate. IHDD
additionally developed a plan with the citizen group, a middle school teacher and 40 middle
school students to build upon the assets and needs they described in their community. They will
present their design to the School Board, to turn an abandoned school into a community arts
center. Similar activities were held in Tift and Baldwin Counties. Over 600 community
members have participated.
IHDD HOSTS LAW SCHOOL PANEL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA (Brightwell, Jamieson, Wells)
IHDD has been engaging law schools around the country to understand issues around
segregation and rights of people with disabilities. In particular, the aim is to increase awareness
of a landmark Supreme Court case - Olmstead v. L.C. and E.W. This case is commonly referred
to as the Brown v. Board of Education of disability rights cases - yet few people outside of the
disability community know much about the history, outcome, and positive effect on society. Sue
Jamieson, a member of IHDD staff and a lawyer with the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc., was
the lead attorney in the case. On January 2014, IHDD and UDC co-hosted a panel on the
Olmstead decision and continued issues around segregation. It was a wonderful success with
over 85 people attending from five different states. Recordings of the event can be seen on
IHDD’s YouTube Channel: http://youtu.be/Xz5-n-4na_E (series of videos). The panelists
included: Nicholas Lee, Esq: Attorney with the United States Department of Justice Disability
Rights Section; Joe Shapiro: NPR News Investigative Journalist and author of NO PITY :
People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement; Marjorie Rifkin, Esq.:
Managing attorney at University Legal Services (ULS); Sue Jamieson who was the lead attorney
in Olmstead v. L.C.,; Robert L. Burgdorf, Jr. Esq.: Professor of Law, UDC David A. Clarke

IHDD’s strategic plan for 2012-2016 includes the following goals: A Job, Not Poverty: Creating
equal opportunities so people with disabilities can reach their full potential for employment and
contribution to their communities, Friends and Places: Building relationships through ordinary
living and active participation with family, friends, and community, Families: Building
confidence and competence of families to support and advocate for their family member with a
disability, and Human Rights: Promoting the recognition of people with disabilities as equal
287
citizens with rights to a full and ordinary life, without fear of exclusion or abuse.
A.
Attained Goals
Goal 1: A Job, Not Poverty - Adults with disabilities are over three times more likely than other
adults to live in poverty (26% vs. 9). Over 70% of SSI beneficiaries (age 18-64) are poor. The
unemployment rate for adults with DD is within the range of 75% to 92%. In a survey done by
the Office of Disability Employment Policy, only 13.6% of employers reported they actively
recruited people with disabilities. Many employers think of hiring people with disabilities as a
charitable activity rather than a management decision that makes sound business sense. Most
(76%) Georgians with developmental disabilities spend their days in facility-based non-work
settings.
Progress: IHDD continued to make strides as a National leader in supported employment. As
demonstrated in the project highlights on page 8-11, staff continues to be recognized for their
contributions on a state and national level. Our work in this area was most notably recognized
by the U.S. Department of Justice. Most importantly, people with disabilities directly benefit
from increased employment options.
Projects in this area: Under the WorkWorks Umbrella (Mental Health Technical Assistance;
Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance; Person Centered Planning and Customized
Employment; Partners for Employment / University of New Mexico; Job Coach Certification;
GAPSE; FarmAgain / AgrAbility); National Direct Support Professionals; Iowa Family Support
Professionals Online Module Development; and I am a Gadget Geek Professional Development
Trainings.
Goal 2: Friends and Places - Historically, people with disabilities have been removed from their
families and communities, confined to segregated programs and institutions against their will.
Even as people return to community life, many experience loneliness and isolation. Often their
only companions are their family members and paid support staff. Friendships and community
connections are most effective way to protect people from abuse and neglect; when people care,
people act. We are committed to bringing the following question to communities across Georgia,
“Why and what keeps people apart?” This goal revolves around the theme of intentional
invitations for community members to be in conversation, discover what they have in common,
recognize each other’s gifts, and create opportunities for people living on the edge to be visible
as contributing members. Intentional conversations begin by being introduced (or introducing
oneself) by one’s gifts and raising the question “What does your community need from you?”
Progress: IHDD has done extensive work in Tift, Baldwin and Hancock counties to bring
together community members with and without disabilities so natural friendships and
connections may happen. The community members work on items that are important to their
town and come together to make positive change. From wall murals to cleaning up public areas,
the projects vary by the needs of each community.
Projects in the area: Threads of our Community, Waddie Welcome Readings,
288
Goal 3: Families - Most people with disabilities live with their families. Although family care
serves about 6 times as many people as are served by formal residential supports, few service
dollars are directed toward families. Georgia lacks a comprehensive system of family support,
ranking 50th in the US for spending for family supports. Lack of family support contributes to
the placement of youth in institutions, nursing homes, and other residential facilities.
Progress: A core of all of the work that IHDD has done since its inception has revolved around
families and supporting their needs. From using a person-centered tool to engage families to
identify their child’s strengths to providing benefit counseling to farm families, IHDD has a wide
variety of projects to directly assist families.
Projects in this area: Take a Look at Me Portfolio; Children’s Freedom Initiative; I am A Gadget
Geek Technical Assistance; AgTeen Farm Safety Outreach; Farm Again / AgrAbility
Goal 4: Human Rights - Like many other states, the history of services in Georgia has been
dominated by a model of segregation and congregation. A U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) v.
Georgia Settlement Agreement, signed in October 2010, is creating dramatic change in the state.
The DOJ Settlement Agreement requires Georgia to establish an array of services and supports
for people with developmental disabilities and those with mental illness.
Progress: IHDD continues to raise the bar to challenge others to see people with disabilities as
equal citizens entitled to the same privileges and rights as everyone else. From working with law
school students to convening leaders to preserve disability history, IHDD made great strides in
this area in 2014.

In 2014, IHDD increased the diversity of our Disability Studies Certificate students. We now
have 2 graduate students from diverse backgrounds and 6 undergraduates who come from
diverse backgrounds. Four undergraduate students identify as having a disability.
IHDD offered three (3/20/14, 4/2/14, 12/11/14) highly rated Disability as Diversity workshops to
76 UGA staff, on both Athens and Gwinett campuses, as part of the Diversity and Inclusion
289
Certificate offered by the UGA Office of Institutional Diversity. Some participant feedback is
below:
This was probably one of the best T&D sessions that I have attended. The experience of having
a staff member with a disability facilitate the discussion took the understanding to a new level.
Thank you!
I've taken 5 Diversity Certifications classes, and this one was by far my favorite. I had had
experience with many other issues relating to diversity, but I had never thought of people with
disabilities as a minority group (and the largest at that!). A real eye opener on understanding
people with disabilities and society's false perceptions on people with disabilities.
Very informative and engaging class. It provided me with a fresh mindset of how to engage with
individuals that have disabilities.
Though short, the class was extremely thought provoking. In terms of diversity we never have to
think about the privileges we have. My biggest takeaway of the day was the facilitator saying we
are all TAB temporarily able bodied...

Office of Development and Alumni Relations
Annual Report 2014
I. Leadership
The College of Family & Consumer Sciences’ development and alumni relations team was
reorganized the beginning of FY15. These efforts were led by Dean Linda Kirk Fox and
Victoria Prevatt, who had served as Director of Development since July 2011. Beginning, July 1,
2014, Victoria took on an expanded role as the Executive Director of Development and Alumni
Relations. Amy Brackett served as Development Officer through July 2014, leaving the position
vacant until November, when Libby Carter was hired in November. In addition, the Director of
Alumni Relations, Susan Byus, left the college March for a new position in UGA’s Admissions
Office. At that time, the Alumni Relations and Student Leadership position was changed to the
Director of Alumni and Corporate Engagement. The Student Leadership component moved to
the Student Success & Advising Center. The alumni role was redefined at that time and Vicky
Dorsey was selected as the Director of Alumni and Corporate Engagement, beginning her service
to the college in August 2014.
The Executive Director of Development and Alumni Relations continued to serve on the
Executive Cabinet, Administrative Cabinet, and Ex Officio on the FACS Alumni Board of
Directors. Participation at monthly executive cabinet meetings and input into the agendas
encourages communication among departments and serves as an opportunity for development
efforts to be more effectively coordinated and communicated. The External Relations team
continues to holds bimonthly meetings, often attended by the Dean.
A. Training and Professional Development
Training has continued in the systems and procedures of the University of Georgia, including
external relations policies and procedures and gift accounting. Continued training in GAIL and
OneSolution, the main IT systems used by both development and alumni relations.

portfolio and move prospects through the development process. Victoria has 94 face-to-face
visits documented for the calendar year 2014, which does not include the 70 guests to the Sky
Suite during the fall of 2014. In addition, Victoria led the following invitation-only events:

Special Events this year
Pre-game events and UGA football games
The Dean and Executive Director of Development/Alumni hosted 8 – 10 friends, donors,
prospects, and alumni for seven home football games in a Sky Suite shared with the Division of
Student Affairs. Suites were strategically coordinated around academic priorities as reflected in
the campaign goals.
Prior to each home game, a FACS tailgate was organized by key alumni. The tailgate was open
to all alumni, faculty and students and offered another opportunity to meet friends of the college
both before and after the games.
FACS Dean’s Circle, corporate partners, Sky Suite guests, alumni board members, and tailgate
hosts were given preference for football parking in the Dawson Hall lot.
306
Donor Scholar Recognition
A Donor Scholar recognition reception was held to recognize endowment donors and their
recipients on Friday, October 17th. The 2014 Donor Scholar event was held at the Richard B.
Russell Special Collections Library, on the campus of the University of Georgia. Josh
Whitlock, FACS alumni and scholarship donor, gave an energetic speech. The Elliott family was
recognized and provided a check for $50,000 at the event.
Parents and Families Day
Initiated by the FACS Development Office, the college hosted its first Parents and Families Day,
the Saturday following the Donor Scholar reception on Saturday, October 18th. The college
worked with UGA’s Parents and Families Association and the FACS Student Success and
Advising Center.
1785 Society – President’s Dinner with Dr. Bill Flatt
Generous FACS supporter, Bill Flatt, reached a milestone in FACS giving in 2014 – reaching $1
million in cumulative giving to the College of Family & Consumer Sciences. Victoria Prevatt
and Dean Fox organized an intimate dinner at the home of President Morehead to celebrate Dr.
Flatt’s entry into the 1785 Society. A small group of 10-12 of Dr. Flatt’s colleagues and college
representatives attended.

C. Student Computer Laboratory Services and Support
The College offers a vast array of computing facilities used by students to complete assignments,
analyze data, and engage with classmates for group projects or just research topics of interest.
Many of the courses taught at the college use these resources as a vital tool for examining up-todate research and helping students prepare for success in the job marketplace. In addition to class
projects, students are strongly encouraged to use the full range of computing facilities to expand
their subject matter knowledge. Our staff is available to assist any student, faculty, or staff with
one-on-one guidance in the use of the facilities upon request. Instructional handouts, online
tutorials, and workshops are available to assist faculty, staff, and students utilizing equipment
and services provided by OTIS.
OTIS maintains five student computer labs for a total of 121 available workstations. The
environment consists of two general use labs, two AutoCAD labs, and one combination statistics
and pattern design lab. One of these is the largest computer classroom on the University campus.
It contains 46 Dell computers with hideaway monitors to allow for quick conversion into a
general-purpose classroom. This room was designed to serve as a remote access classroom and
has a Cisco C60 Telepresence video conferencing system that can be used to connect up to 3
remote sites for distance learning. All lab computers have the common software needed by
university students such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and vLab access, as well as
specialized software needed by the College including Diet Analysis, FoodProcessor, and SPSS.
Workstations with scanners are available that include accessibility software for students who
wish to use them for learning support.
Dawson 202 and 264 computer classrooms may be reserved for seminars, presentations,
examinations or workshops. When not reserved for special class functions, they are open 7:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, when the University is in session. Graduate students
may request after-hours access to the computer labs located in Dawson 204 and 264 using their
UGA ID card or Dawson 202 by obtaining the lock combination from OTIS. Barrow Computer
classrooms and labs are restricted to Furnishings and Interiors students.
D. Instructional Technology Support
OTIS provides a full-time instructional technologist to support faculty and graduate students.
Areas of focus include:
- Instructional design and development assistance, including best teaching practices appropriate
for face-to-face and online instruction with respect to technology integration,
- Classroom audio-visual equipment training and support,
- Video conferencing training and support,
336
- eLearning Commons (UGA’s learning management system) training and support,
- Promotion of emerging practices, technologies, and resources with respect to teaching and
learning.
Learning Environments:
OTIS fully supports computers and audio-visual equipment in 18 classrooms located in Dawson
and Barrow Halls. Twelve general classrooms and two computer classrooms in Dawson Hall, as
well as one classroom and one lab in Barrow Hall, are fully outfitted “SMART” classrooms. All
rooms contain a ceiling mounted LCD projector with a projection screen, a Dell desktop
computer and SMART Podium monitor, DVD/VHS player, sound system and document camera
along with a touch screen panel that controls each item. Remaining classrooms in Dawson and
Barrow Halls and one additional lab in Dawson Hall are outfitted with a ceiling mounted LCD
projector, projection screen, a computer and inputs for a laptop.
The two computer classrooms, Dawson 202 and 264, as well as all other college classrooms, may
be reserved by contacting FACS Student Services. A list of the classrooms along with a photo
and description of resources in each room is available on the OTIS website.
Room upgrades:
In order to improve the student experience in our most used computer lab, Dawson 204, we have
increased the number of workstations from 14 to 18 and replace the systems with ultra-small
form factor units that produce less heat and allow more working desk space for the students. We
have also installed large framed prints from the University’s photo archives and a campus map
marking our location. Stations at each end of the room provide useful supplies for the students
such as pens, pencils, staplers, and hole-punches.
We have recently added a 70” Sharp AQUOS BOARD instructors can use to create a more
interactive experience in the classroom. The board can be used in place of the standard PC,
projector, and whiteboard. Currently, the device is housed in Dawson 216 for demonstration and
training, awaiting final placement in an instructional classroom. Video Recording Services:
OTIS offers faculty, staff and student group’s basic video recording for special events, including
guest speakers and assemblies, located in Dawson and Barrow Halls during regular business
hours. We provide stationary recording up to 1 hour using a digital camcorder and basic
microphone, basic editing, and posting to the private FACS Instructional Services YouTube
page. One additional professional camera kit is available for loan for after-hours recording.
Editing and posting of this video are the responsibility of the user.
337
Print Services:
OTIS has invested in two free-standing Wēpa® kiosks One located across from the student
lounge on the first floor of Dawson Hall and the other on the second floor adjacent to the 202
and 204 labs and the OTIS office. This network of printers allows students to submit documents
from their phones, tablets, laptops or our lab computers, and then walk up to any of the kiosks to
pay and print their jobs. With 20 kiosks on the UGA main campus and five additional stations
within 25 miles, they are quickly replacing any other mode of printing on campus.
E. Web Administration and Development
OTIS has a two person web team consisting of two web developers that are responsible for the
design, building, and maintenance of the College’s website. Members of the College can contact
them about updating any web content, providing web-based surveys, and making additions to the
existing site by emailing the helpdesk or via the website.
