Each year at East Georgia State College’s (EGSC) fall workshop, faculty and staff come together to meet about the upcoming academic year. During the workshop, the annual EGSC Employee Appreciation and Recognition Program is held.
During this year’s workshop in August, outstanding faculty and staff were acknowledged. Employees achieving service milestones were presented awards for their dedication and years of service. In addition, STAR Staff Awards and Distinguished Faculty Awards were presented to faculty and staff who have gone above and beyond for students.
The first awards given out, the Service Milestone Awards, were for years of service. The award recipients have 325 years of combined service to EGSC.
