Another four employees were honored for 30 years of service: Economics, Government and Business Law Professor Julia Derrick, King Center Executive Director Steven Janicki, Director of Collegewide Printing and Graphic Services Jo Ann Noth and Biology Professor James Yount.

College President Dr. Jim Richey thanked all the recipients for their dedication, saying their efforts were central to the college receiving a prestigious Gold Rating from the Florida Board of Education last year for its performance in student success.

“I deeply appreciate your commitment to excellence and so does our Board of Trustees. Never forget that you are making a real and lasting difference in the lives of our students and our community,” said Richey.
