Several Daltonians attended the University System of Georgia’s (USG)
Board of Regents Foundation’s 5th Annual Regents Awards for
Excellence in Teaching Celebration on Saturday night, during which
Dalton State College Professor of Psychology Dr. Christy Price
received the 2008 Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Price was one of only three faculty members System-wide to receive a
Regents’ Excellence in Teaching Award this year. Her award
represents institutions within the access college sector, which
includes the 16 USG institutions that make up the college’s two-year
and four-year state colleges.
The proceeds from the evening gala fund President’s Choice
Scholarships at all 35 University System of Georgia institutions.
Each institution receives up to $10,000 annually, and the presidents
choose the recipient or recipients based on academic merit. This
year, the USG Foundation has raised more than $1 million, resulting
in 38 President’s Choice and 12 Foundation Scholarships.
