Breeden Receives Top Honor

Former Dean and William W. Priest Professor Recognized for Oustanding Contributions to Finance.

Douglas T. Breeden, the William W. Priest Professor of Finance and former Dean of The Fuqua School of Business, was recently elected to membership in the Society of Fellows of the American Finance Association. The Society of Fellows is a group of distinguished finance scholars who select one or two new members annually in recognition of their distinguished contributions to the field of finance.

Breeden's selection was announced at the American Finance Association annual meeting in early January. Breeden, who is also the co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of Smith Breeden Associates, is widely known for his research on consumption and intertemporal asset pricing.

"All of us at Fuqua are delighted that Doug has been recognized in such a tremendous fashion by his peers," said Fuqua Dean Blair Sheppard. "He is an outstanding scholar whose most significant achievements also include building and developing the world-class faculty Fuqua boasts today."
