About the Donor

Curtis and Irene were members of the UGA community since the late 1960s. Curtis Ulmer was head of the Department of Adult Education from 1967 until 1981 and continued on as faculty until 1986, at which time he was named professor emeritus. Irene Ulmer was a career counselor and instructor in the Department of Career Planning and Placement from 1968 until her retirement in 1983. The scholarship program is a continuation of their timeless friendship and commitment to the students in the department. Through the generosity and dedication of the Ulmers, this award was established to honor and support doctoral students in the field of adult education at the University of Georgia.
