History
Family and consumer sciences began at the University of Georgia in 1918 with the establishment of the Division of Home Economics. In 1919, Mary E. Creswell became both the first home economics graduate and the first female to graduate from the University of Georgia. In 1933, when the School of Home Economics was established, Creswell was appointed as the first dean.
The name was changed to the College of Family and Consumer Sciences in 1990 to better reflect the research, teaching and outreach being conducted.
The college has evolved over the years to include numerous majors all focusing on the motto, "Knowledge for Real Life."

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
