Augusta Tech Names Semi-Finalists for GOAL Award

Four Augusta Technical College students have been selected as the college’s semi-finalists for the Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL), according to Dr. Melissa Frank-Alston, coordinator for the Augusta Technical College’s GOAL program.

Chosen as semifinalists are: Kayla Broom, Early Childhood Care & Education; Laura Castillo, Culinary Arts; Femia Schwab, Pharmacy Technology; and David Small, Golf Course Management.

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 25 technical colleges as well as the four Board of Regents colleges with technical education divisions.

All the college GOAL winners will compete in consortia preliminary judging, which will include students from the other 25 colleges of the Technical College System of Georgia as well as the four Board of Regents colleges with technical education divisions. Nine finalists from consortia preliminary judging (two from each consortium) will attend the state GOAL competition in Atlanta during GOAL Week, April 25- 27, 2012.

GOAL winners from each campus will compete in consortia preliminary judging in March and April and two finalists from each consortium, 12 finalists, will come to Atlanta to compete at the state-level in May and one will be named as the statewide GOAL winner.

"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 Dr. Frank-Alston.

According to Dr. Frank Alston, a screening committee of administrators at Augusta Technical College selected the four semifinalists from a list of students nominated by their instructors.

"The next step is for a panel of business, civic and industry leaders from the community to interview and evaluate these four students and select one to be the college’s 2012 GOAL winner," explained Dr. Frank-Alston. “The one judged most outstanding will compete in Central consortium preliminary judging. Two finalists from Central consortium will attend the state GOAL competition in Atlanta and vie to be named as the 2012 statewide GOAL winner.”

The state GOAL winner becomes the student ambassador for the Technical College System of Georgia and receives a grand prize of a new car provided by Chevrolet, the statewide corporate sponsor of Georgia’s GOAL program.

Semi-finalists gather at Sixth At Watkins for announcement of winner and runner-up.
