Michael Conroy was an Athenian beloved by many. He retired in 2019 as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Georgia’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, where he made a significant contribution to the field of wildlife management. He passed away in June.

Clint Moore is a retired federal scientist for the US Geological Survey. He was one of Dr. Conroy’s students and organized a symposium in his honor in September. Dr. Moore sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss the legacy of this remarkable Athenian.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
