    Article By: Staff

    The Forsyth County News named the University of North Georgia's (UNG) Cumming Campus the Best College/University and UNG's Division of Professional and Continuing Education garnered Best in Corporate Training honors as part of its annual reader's survey.

    Since 2015, the Best of Forsyth reader's choice awards recognizes outstanding businesses and services in more than 200 categories, from nonprofits to car dealerships; restaurants to chiropractor; insurance agent to personal trainer.

    “It’s a great honor to be recognized as the Best College/University by the Forsyth County News again this year," said Jason Pruitt, executive director of UNG's Cumming Campus. "The UNG-Cumming Campus strives to provide an excellent academic experience that is convenient for students and families in this region. We want to say 'thank you' to the readers for voting for us in this category.”

    A gathering of more than 500 were on hand at the Best of Forsyth Banquet Jan. 31 at the Forsyth Conference Center at Lanier Technical College as Stephanie Woody, publisher of the Forsyth County News, welcomed and congratulated the winners.

    "We are so pleased that the Forsyth County community has recognized PCE’s commitment to supporting business and industry for the second consecutive year, said Wendy Estes, director of Professional and Continuing Education at UNG. "Our ability to deliver high-quality professional development and customized training locally saves companies time and money. Developing human capital is perhaps the greatest investment a business can make for long-term success."
