Since the 1930s, the University of Georgia has set aside a special time each year to recognize the achievements of its students, faculty, staff and alumni. That tradition is known as Honors Week. This year's honorees include the law school's Associate Dean for Clinical Programs and Experiential Learning Eleanor Crosby Lanier with a Hill Award for Distinguished Achievement in Public Service and Outreach and alumnus Peter Shedd (J.D.'77), a UGA Terry College of Business emeritus professor of legal studies, with the 2020 Faculty Service Award.

As history unfolds during the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Georgia Special Collections Libraries are collecting experiences and responses from Georgians to preserve for generations to come. Georgia residents can contribute to the project by sharing how the crisis has impacted their family, business, education and well-being. Digital submissions may include personal reflections, photos, poetry, recordings or any other means that demonstrate how the pandemic affects people's lives.
