Dr. Fred Albertson, associate professor of art at The University of Memphis, is one of three individuals selected to receive the first Association for General and Liberal Studies Faculty Award. The national award recognizes commitment to teaching and leadership in the areas of general and liberal studies.

Albertson teaches courses in Greek art and ancient art. He is a past recipient of the University's Distinguished Teaching Award and the Dean's Faculty Advisor Award, which is presented by the U of M College of Communication and Fine Arts. Albertson is one of 23 Americans to receive the prestigious Rome Prize for study at the American Academy in Rome.

His latest award will be presented at the AGLS conference Oct. 17-19 in Louisville, Ky. Established in 1961, AGLS strives to enrich the educational experience of American college students by stimulating discourse among professors, administrators and others concerned with the purpose, scope and nature of liberal education.
