Instructors at Augusta Technical College have nominated eleven of their students for the Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL) competition, according to Dr. Melissa Frank-Alston, Vice President of Student Affairs and coordinator for the college’s GOAL program.

GOAL, a statewide program of the Technical College System of Georgia, honors excellence in academics and leadership among the state’s technical college students. GOAL winners are selected at each of the state’s 26 technical colleges as well as the two Board of Regents colleges with technical education divisions.

Chosen for recognition by their instructors are:

Sindy Barnette, Occupational Therapy Assistant

Nicole Burdette, Nuclear Engineering Technology

Amanda Dunn, Pharmacy Technology

Sheonna Haywood, Marketing Management

Sarah Heddinger, Practical Nursing

Kayla Howell, Medical Assisting

Shanice Reabroi, Pharmacy Technology

Amy Pace, Technical Communications

Markus Smith, Pharmacy Technology

Robert Utley, Occupational Therapy Assistant

Cheryel Wherman, Culinary Arts

"The purpose of the GOAL program is to spotlight the outstanding achievement by students in Georgia's technical colleges and to emphasize the importance of technical education in today’s global workforce," said Frank-Alston.

A screening committee of administrators at Augusta Tech will review each of the instructors’ nominations then conduct personal interviews with the students. After the nominees have been ranked, four finalists will then be chosen to compete to be the Augusta Tech’s GOAL winner for 2011.

The four finalists will then take part in another round of interviews and evaluations by a selection committee of representatives from The Optimist Club of Augusta. That panel will consider the students’ qualities like academic achievement, personal character, leadership abilities and enthusiasm for technical education.

The student judged most outstanding will be designated as the college’s GOAL winner and move on to the regional competition. Then three from each of the three regions will make up the nine semi-finalists, who will be named in May at the state GOAL conference in Atlanta. The nine regional finalists will then move to the state level and compete for the title of state GOAL winner.

The student who earns the state GOAL winner title is also awarded the important responsibility of traveling the state as the ambassador for the entire technical college system. To make that travel easier, the winner also receives a new car from Chevrolet, the statewide corporate sponsor of Georgia’s GOAL program that will be announced later.
