The review team commended the staff and faculty on their thorough preparation for the review. “I’m delighted although not surprised with these out standing results,” stated President Billy Edenfield. “The staff and faculty are to be commended for their dedication and hard work. It's a team effort as we strive to better serve the community and train the workforce of the 21st century'.” The Georgia Dental Education Foundation recently contributed SI,OOO to the Middle Georgia Technical Institute Foundation, Inc. to be used as two SSOO scholarships for deserving first year Dental Hygiene Students at MGT.
