PARTNERSHIP SPOTLIGHT

 

 

2012 Spirit of 

Partnership Award 

Presented to Georgia State University -  PDS/NET-Q 

 

At the National Professional Development Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, the University of South Carolina Conference Planning Team presented Georgia State University with the 2012 Spirit of Partnership Award in recognition of GSU's persistent support of the annual PDS National Conference.  "While we work on our end of things to facilitate the conference every year, we know that our work would count for very little if we did not have institutions like Georgia State who year after year not only attend the event but make significant contributions to the four-day dialogue through thoughtful presentations that invariably influence in a very positive way the national and international PDS dialogue that takes place as educators leave the conference and return to their home sites., " according to
