Given annually by the Auburn Alumni Association, the award recognizes extraordinary accomplishments by Auburn alumni. To be selected for the award, nominees must have attained prominence in their professional careers, and they must be persons of integrity, stature and demonstrated ability.
An All-Star at Auburn in both basketball and football, Dooley earned a bachelor’s degree in business in 1954 and a master’s degree in history in 1963. He also served as an assistant football coach for Auburn’s 1957 national championship team before coming to UGA in 1963.
