Billy S. Guyton Distinguished Professorships
The Billy S. Guyton Distinguished Professorships, formerly the Barnard Distinguished Professorships, were established by Chancellor R. Gerald Turner to honor the best scholars on the faculty and provide an inducement for them to remain academically active and associated with the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The organization's namesake is Dr. Billy S. Guyton, who served as a dean of the two-year medical school in Oxford, Mississippi. He is credited with leading the school through perilous economic times and preserving its faculty and integrity for expansion to the full four-year program.
The Guyton Professorship honorees are recognized at the annual UMMC Commencement, at which they are expected to wear the Guyton Professorship medallion that signifies the honor. Additionally, honorees are awarded a $10K stipend over a five-year period.
