Karon Green Walton Selected as 2011 Rick Perkins Award Winner

Karon Green Walton, newly appointed program director for Medical Assisting at Augusta Technical College, was selected from a group of 14 instructors to represent the college in the Rick Perkins Award for Excellence in Technical Instruction. It is a statewide program initiated by the Technical College System of Georgia to honor outstanding instructors in the system's 26 member institutions.

The 14 instructors were nominated by faculty, staff and students. The other nominees included Kurt Bradley, accounting instructor; Sonya Burns, medical assisting instructor; Franklin Cox, welding instructor; Cynthia David, biology instructor; Terri Degenhardt, English instructor; Linda Jung, practical nursing instructor; Kay MacDonald, psychology instructor; Nancy Molik, mathematics instructor; Maricette Perdue, radiologic technology instructor; Sherrie Rowe, program chair for Printing and Graphics; Tiffany Rowe-Thomas, business administrative technology instructor; Paul Vistintainer, mathematics instructor; and Kathleen Youmans, mathematics instructor. The 14 nominees were interviewed by a panel of judges consisting of Augusta Tech’s Board Members.

The Rick Perkins Award for Excellence in Technical Instruction honors technical education’s most outstanding instructors. The award has been an ongoing statewide event since 1991 and is designed to recognize and honor technical college instructors who make significant contributions to technical education through innovations and leadership in their fields.

Annually, all 26 technical colleges, plus the four Regents system schools with technical divisions, nominate an instructor to represent their colleges for the statewide honor. Nominees then compete on a regional basis.

Walton will compete with representatives from the Central Region of the Technical College System of Georgia. Winners from each technical college region will be announced and will then compete for the state honor in May.

To be eligible for the award, instructors must be employed on a full-time basis for a minimum of three-years and have not participated in the region or state-level selection process in the last three years.

The statewide recipient of the award serves as an ambassador and represents the Technical College System of Georgia. The recipient will travel statewide to promote technical education and the critical impact the system of technical colleges has on the overall economic health of Georgia.
