Dr. M. Jared Wood (Department of Sociology and Anthropology) was recently appointed to serve on the Georgia National Register Review Board for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR).  The Review Board plays an important role in the identification, protection, and preservation of archaeological and historic resources in our State.
