Dr. Turley is a recent recipient of the Pro Facultate Philosophiae medal of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Szeged. The honors are in recognition of his work done for the Szeged community including his implementing a mobility program between West Virginia University and the University of Szeged with over a dozen students and faculty having enjoyed its benefits so far. In 2011 Dr. Turley is revisiting Szeged, teaching compressed courses for the Institute and the Department of Religious Studies.
