The Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology professor, who also serves as an assistant professor of family therapy at University of Houston-Clear Lake's (UHCL) College of Human Sciences and Humanities, wasnominated for the award by students from UHCL's Family Therapy program.
"This was my first professional academic award in the 17 years I have been in the U.S., aside from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship I received for my master's studies," Georgiadou said.
"Knowing that this award came to me, thanks to nominations from students in our program made it even more meaningful. Their appreciation for all my hard work and efforts to teach them well and promote our Family Therapy program is the highest form of recognition."
