Your “5 to 9” may matter more than you think. New research from the University of Georgia found that the most effective way to recover from work and avoid burnout is intentionally creating a few full nights of recovery each week, and not trying to squeeze in small moments of relaxation every evening.

In a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, management professor Fadel Matta and his co-authors examined nearly 10,000 daily recovery timelines to better understand how employees mentally detach from work after hours and how that affects next-day performance, energy, and well-being.

Their findings showed that employees who disconnected from work earlier in the evening and fully engaged in recovery activities — whether hobbies, exercise, relaxation, or time with family — reported higher energy levels, improved job confidence, and stronger workplace performance the next day.

Researchers described this approach as “buying in bulk” when it comes to recovery: securing two or three high-quality evenings of true downtime each week can be more effective than adding a small amount of relaxation time every night.

The study also highlights how difficult it can be for employees to mentally unplug from work in an always-connected environment — and how delayed detachment can create a cycle of stress, fatigue, and reduced productivity.

Jeff Humphreys also secured funding from the Georgia Ports Authority to study the economic impact of Georgia’s ports and logistics infrastructure.

Students from the nationally top-ranked University of Georgia - C. Herman Terry Risk Management and Insurance Program traveled to London this month for the London Insurance Market Study Away, gaining firsthand exposure to the global commercial insurance marketplace.

Twelve RMIN students from the University of Georgia spent the week engaging with leading industry professionals, participating in case studies, and building meaningful connections across the international insurance community.
Throughout the program, students visited firms including Apollo ibott 1971, BMS Group, WTW, and Howden, where they explored the complexities of the global insurance and reinsurance market while learning directly from experts across the industry.

Experiential learning opportunities like the London Insurance Market Study Away help prepare Terry students for leadership in an increasingly interconnected world — combining classroom knowledge with real-world industry insight and professional networking.

As home to the nation’s largest undergraduate risk management and insurance program — and consistently ranked among the top two programs in the country — Terry College continues to provide students with transformative opportunities to learn from the very best in the business.

Special thanks to RMIN lecturers Jennifer Atkinson and Daniel Brown, along with Robbie Thomas, Christopher Moore, Freddie Lewis, Glyn Thoms, and all of the industry professionals who helped make this experience possible for our students.

Please join us in congratulating Margaret Christ on her appointment as associate dean of graduate programs and AI initiatives at the University of Georgia Terry College of Business.

Currently serving as director of the J.M. Tull School of Accounting at University of Georgia and holding the J.M. Tull Chair in Accounting, Christ has played a key leadership role in driving innovation, enrollment growth, and curriculum development across Terry’s accounting programs.

In her new role, effective August 1, Christ will oversee Terry’s graduate business portfolio — including MBA programs, specialized master’s programs, and the Ivester Institute for Business Analytics and Insights — while leading the college’s strategic integration of artificial intelligence across curriculum, research, operations, and industry partnerships.

Since joining UGA in 2008, Christ has built a nationally recognized record of teaching, research, and academic leadership. Her work exploring how artificial intelligence and analytics tools influence accounting practices has helped shape curriculum materials used by thousands of instructors at nearly 1,000 institutions worldwide.

Dean Santanu Chatterjee noted that Christ’s “vision will be instrumental in elevating our graduate programs and leading our strategic integration of artificial intelligence across the college.”

We are excited for this next chapter of leadership and innovation at Terry College. Congratulations, Margaret!

Health really is wealth. New research from the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business found that nearly one-third of lifetime income inequality in the U.S. can be traced to differences in health outcomes.

The study, co-authored by Terry College economist Roozbeh Hosseini and published in The Review of Economic Studies, examined how chronic illness, injury, and other “health shocks” impact workers across their lifetimes. Using a more detailed and objective measure of health known as the “frailty index,” the researchers found that each additional health challenge can significantly reduce earnings, employment opportunities, and long-term financial stability.

By age 55, approximately 28% of the gap in lifetime earnings between workers can be linked to unequal health burdens.

The research also highlights how health disparities shape workforce participation, productivity, and access to disability support programs — emphasizing the interconnected nature of health, economic mobility, and public policy.

At UGA, faculty research continues to explore the complex challenges shaping individuals, businesses, and society — generating insights that inform policy discussions and improve lives.

Adam Wexler (BBA ’07), founder of PrizePicks and CEO of The Hidden Jams, has made the largest philanthropic commitment in University of Georgia Athletic Association history with a $10 million gift supporting Georgia Men's Basketball.

A graduate of the Terry College of Business, Wexler’s commitment will support personnel and operating expenses within the men’s basketball program while also contributing to the Athletic Director Excellence Fund — helping strengthen the future of Georgia Athletics and the student-athlete experience.

“The University of Georgia has always meant a tremendous amount to me and my family,” Wexler shared. “There has never been a more interesting time in the history of collegiate athletics for donors to make a difference.”

Wexler attended Terry before building industry-leading businesses and innovative consumer platforms, and his continued investment in the university reflects the lasting connection many Terry alumni maintain with UGA long after graduation.

We are proud to celebrate alumni whose leadership, entrepreneurship, and generosity continue to create meaningful impact across the university and beyond. Congratulations and thank you, Adam, for this historic commitment to the future of the Bulldogs.
