2010 President's Award Recipients

And the winners are...Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College President Joanne Jaeger Tomblin recently announced the recipients of the 2010 President's Award. This year's recipients are Pauline Sturgill, director of community and leadership development; Dr. F. Dean Lucas, professor; and Dr. Merle Dempsey, executive vice-president. The President's Award was established in 2002 to recognize an outstanding college employee. This year, three employees were presented the prestigious "Eagle" award following an employee luncheon held at the Logan Campus. Both Dr. Lucas and Dr. Dempsey will be retiring later this year. "All three of these employees go above and beyond the call, at work and in the community. They have demonstrated a commitment to making Southern an outstanding educational choice for students. I want to congratulate them on a job well done and for demonstrating what it takes to be a true leader," President Tomblin remarked.
