Daniel Hill of Rabun Gap has been named North Georgia Technical College’s 2018 Georgia Occupational Award for Leadership. Hill is an accounting student at the Clarkesville campus.
This statewide award program of the Technical College System of Georgia actually was started at NGTC in the early 1970s and continues to honor excellence in academics and leadership among the state’s technical college students today. Local GOAL winners are selected at each of the state’s 22 technical colleges and go through a selection process that ends in April each year with the selection of a state GOAL winner.
From across all three of North Georgia Technical College’s campuses, students representing various programs were nominated as candidates to represent NGTC in the state competition. The top 12 semi-finalists selected for the 2018 GOAL award included Bethany Arrowood of Lula, criminal justice; McKenzie Cain of Helen, business technology; Mary Lee Cawthon of Baldwin, photography; Pamela Forsyth of Blairsville, practical nursing; Nicole May of Blairsville, business technology; Malik Perry of Toccoa, interdisciplinary studies; Dustin Vandergrift of Clarkesville, photography; Alexander Wimberly of Sautee Nacoochee, criminal justice.
