"Our annual faculty and staff awards are a wonderful opportunity to pause and learn about all the great things going on at UNG, and to recognize the extraordinary people responsible for them," said Elizabeth King, human resources training and development specialist. "Our people work tirelessly all year long, not for recognition or an award, but because they care about UNG and our students, employees and community. It is an honor to receive one of these awards, but it’s also an honor to get to thank these individuals for their contributions."
