College of Engineering professor, and assistant dean for student success and outreach, Stephan Durham has been named the inaugural holder of the Juneau Construction Company Professorship in Civil Engineering. 

Established in 2024, this professorship is funded by Nancy and Les Juneau and aims to provide support to an outstanding professor of civil engineering. It marks the first occasion in UGA history that a professorship has been established and awarded specifically for civil engineering. The University of Georgia Foundation has matched the Juneaus’ contribution, creating a new endowment sure to impact the college, faculty, and its students, for years to come.

Part of the engineering faculty since 2012, Durham has developed the College of Engineering’s undergraduate program in civil engineering, as well as contributing to the development of – and teaching in – the Online Master of Science in Engineering with an Emphasis in Civil Engineering.

As the assistant dean for student success and outreach, Durham supports the college in a variety of arenas, including managing professional development activities, coordinating student applications for fellowships and scholarships, and leading the Emerging Engineers Leadership Development program.

Online Master of Science (M.S.) in Civil and Environmental Engineering – Emphasis in Civil Engineering

The College of Engineering is proud to announce its new online Master of Science (M.S.) in Civil and Environmental Engineering – Emphasis in Civil Engineering program. This non-thesis degree can be completed in two to three years, and the inaugural cohort is accepting applications until July 1, 2024.

Spanning several distinctive areas—including Structural and Geotechnical Engineering, and Program and Construction Management—the program offers students a wealth of opportunities to hone their skills and experience real-world cases and projects. Students will explore the forefront of civil engineering innovation and graduate prepared for a career in managerial design and lead engineer roles.
