Biography
Until her retirement at the end of 2020, Brenda J. Cude was a Georgia Athletic Association Professor II of Family and Consumer Sciences in the Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics and the department’s Undergraduate Coordinator since 2006. She earned a Ph.D. in Consumer Economics at Purdue University. She also is the director of the University of Georgia Center for Economic Education.
Dr. Cude taught undergraduate and graduate courses, and continues to supervise undergraduate and graduate student researchers, and have an active research program. She taught 12 different courses at UGA, 5 of which were undergraduate, including a First-Year Odyssey course she taught regularly. She created 6 of these courses and substantially revised the balance. The mean scores on her teaching evaluations across all courses ranged from 4.3 to 4.8 on a 5-point scale. She chaired 18 graduate student committees (13 Ph.D) and served on 23 other graduate student committees at UGA. She supervised 16 undergraduate researchers at UGA.
Her previous administrative experience includes serving as the head of her department for six years under Dean Sharon Nickols, from 1998 until 2004 and head of UGA's Department of Human Development and Family Sciences in January through July 2019. In addition, she was chair of the Consumer and Family Economics Extension Program Development Group at the University of Illinois from 1992 until 1998. The team included two other extension specialists and about 15 regional extension educators located throughout the state. She has served on the College’s Curriculum Committee since 1998, except for 2004-2005.
Dr. Cude’s primary research interests are in consumer decision-making, with an emphasis in personal financial literacy, especially among college students. Her publications include articles in the Journal of Consumer Affairs, Journal of Insurance Regulation, Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning, International Journal of Consumer Studies, Journal of International Consumer Marketing, Journal of Extension, Journal of Financial Services Marketing, Journal of Consumer Education, and Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal. She also has presented 100 papers at professional conferences, primarily at the American Council on Consumer Interests, Marketing and Public Policy, and Financial Counseling and Planning Education conferences. A majority of her recent publications are co-authored with Ph.D. students or graduates, junior faculty, and/or undergraduate researchers.
Dr. Cude is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Consumer Affairs, the leading scholarly research journal in the consumer field which is published tri-annually by the American Council on Consumer Interests (ACCI), and a past Associate Editor.
Dr. Cude has been engaged in outreach throughout her career. From 1986 through 1998, she was a state extension specialist in Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois. In that role she developed, prepared, and presented over 150 programs to various consumer, professional, and industry audiences and received numerous awards for her work. In Georgia, she was the Statewide Coordinator of the Georgia Peer Financial Counseling (PFC) Program from 2004 to 2010. Dr. Cude’s role was to keep the content current, add resources to facilitate teaching, develop materials to train the student counselors, and program administration, including helping college campuses set up and grow programs, collecting evaluation data and preparing reports. Dr. Cude received numerous grants to fund the program and after the funding has ended, she continued to update the content and receive evaluation data.
Dr. Cude has served in a variety of capacities representing consumers. A specific area of expertise is consumer communication through websites, disclosures, and information/education targeted to consumers. She has served as a funded consumer representative to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners since 1994 and on the Board of Directors for the Consumer Participation Program since 1996. In this role, she has presented testimony from the consumer perspective on a variety of insurance topics. She frequently edits NAIC publications that are designed to be consumer-facing to use plain language. In 2014, she was named a member of the Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance.
She was a member of the Direct Selling Education Foundation Board from 2011 to 2017 and continues as a member of the Foundation’s Academic Advisory Committee. She has hosted three DSEF Campus Programs at the University of Georgia.
Dr. Cude is a FACS 100 Centennial Honoree. She was the outstanding teacher in UGA College of Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher of the Year in 2007. She has received numerous other teaching recognitions, including departmental Teacher of the Year in 2006 and 2007; 2008 University of Georgia Senior Teaching Fellow; induction into the University of Georgia (UGA) Teaching Academy in 2008, the 2017 Direct Selling Education Foundation Educator of the Year, the University of Georgia and College of Family and Consumer Sciences undergraduate research mentoring awards; and recognition from the American Council on Consumer Interests for her mentorship of graduate students and junior faculty. An article co-authored with a Ph.D. graduate earned the best article award from the Journal of Financial Planning and Education in 2016 and one of her Ph.D. student’s (Anne Duke) dissertation earned the American Council on Consumer Interests Outstanding Dissertation award in 2013. She has received outstanding alumni awards from both the University of Tennessee at Martin and Purdue University and is an American Council on Consumer Interests Distinguished Fellow.

Current Research
Although I am retired, I continue to be an active researcher. I am working with a database that includes various data from college seniors: results (pre- and post) from a financial literacy knowledge test, data from the students' credit reports, and the results of various personality tests as well as financial stress tests. I'm also working on research projects related to insurance.
