(Marietta, Ga. – Dec. 1, 2015)
Chattahoochee Technical College has announced its four finalists for the Rick Perkins Award of Excellence in Technical Instruction, a statewide program initiated by the Technical College System of Georgia to honor outstanding instructors at the System’s member institutions. Nominees are Celnisha Dangerfield, Frank Inscoe, Jennifer Loudermilk and Diane Petty.
The Rick Perkins Award for Excellence in Technical Instruction began in 1991 and is designed to recognize and honor technical college instructors who make significant contributions to technical education through innovation and leadership in their fields. Formerly known as the Commissioner’s Award of Excellence, the Rick Perkins Award was renamed in memory and honor of Thomas “Rick” Perkins, an instructor at West Central Technical College, who received the Commissioner’s Award immediately prior to his untimely death.
Each candidate was interviewed by a panel of judges using a rubric which evaluated them on their accomplishments, leadership, role as a technical educator, commitment to the mission/initiatives of TCSG, communication skills and attitude.
This year’s winner will be announced on Jan. 29 at the GOAL, Rick Perkins and Eagle Award luncheon, to be held on the North Metro Campus.
