2018 May 16

Robert Weldon of Hahira, Georgia, was recognized during Valdosta State University's 2017-2018 Graduate Assistant of the Year Awards Ceremony by Campus Recreation.

Every year Valdosta State University faculty, staff, and administrators honor their top graduate assistants for the contributions they have made to the promotion of research, teaching, and service while pursuing their advanced degrees. The students are nominated for a special end-of-year recognition ceremony based on their reliability, quality of work, initiative, uniqueness of contribution, and professionalism. Twenty-four students received nominations this year.

Graduate assistants are essential to the effective operation of Valdosta State University. They serve many roles, including supporting the delivery of quality instruction in the core curriculum through lecture and laboratory classes; supporting upper division courses that inculcate the research and inquiry skills that prepare undergraduate students to succeed in their majors; and helping to advance the research mission of the university by working alongside faculty on exciting and innovative research projects.
