ATHENS — The Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia has named its Economics Department the John Munro Godfrey Sr. Department of Economics in honor of alumnus John Munro Godfrey Sr. The naming recognizes Godfrey’s career as a leader in the field of economics and his long-standing support of the university and the Terry College — including a transformational gift from Godfrey and his wife, Flavel, to endow the Department of Economics.
“The University of Georgia is grateful for John Godfrey’s extraordinary generosity and engagement, which he has consistently demonstrated over the span of six decades,” UGA President Jere W. Morehead said. “John and Flavel are wonderful friends of our great institution, and their gift will ensure that John’s alma mater continues to provide outstanding education and produce valuable research in the field of economics.”
