The D.W. Brooks Faculty Awards for Excellence were initiated by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences to recognize faculty each year for excellence in teaching, research and Extension.
The teaching award was established in 1981 to recognize faculty members who make outstanding contributions and maintain excellence in the teaching program of the college. In 1983 the awards expanded to include research, Extension and county Extension programs. An award for international agriculture was added in 1988. The D.W. Brooks Faculty Awards for Excellence include a framed certificate and a $5,000 cash award.
The D.W. Brooks Lecture is named for the late D.W. Brooks, founder of Gold Kist, Inc. Brooks started Cotton States Mutual Insurance Companies in 1941. He advised seven U.S. presidents on farm and trade issues. Among his many honors, he was the first inductee into the UGA Agricultural Hall of Fame.
