DAHLONEGA - About 250 students graduated from North Georgia College & State University in Dahlonega graduated Friday night just hours after about a dozen members of the Corps of Cadets, who were also graduating, were commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army.
Among the graduates was Gainesville College Interim Vice President for Business & Finance Debbra Pilgrim. A GC employee for
seven-and-a-half years, the Cleveland, Ga., resident received her bachelor of business administration degree.
"Debbra Pilgrim is an outstanding example of the benefits offered by NGCSU to develop students' confidences and leadership," said GC
President Martha Nesbitt.
"While earning her BBA from North Georgia through the Gainesville College University Center, Debbra has served Gainesville College as an excellent director of accounting. She was also well prepared to assume the responsibility of vice president for Business and Finance in an interim capacity."
Pilgrim, the mother of two children with husband Terry, finished school while facing personal tragedy when her oldest son, Eric, was killed in a car accident earlier this year.
