Central Georgia Technical College student picks up honor

Central Georgia Technical College’s student of the year, Terri DeLong, was recently awarded an all-inclusive scholarship to attend the 2016 American Society of Radiologic Technologists Educational Symposium and Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting in Las Vegas in June. DeLong was one of two students in Georgia to be selected for this award.

Students from across the country, two per state, were awarded the scholarship based on an essay submission where applicants explained how they would grow professionally by attending the conference. DeLong’s essay detailed how she’d like to take an active role in the ASRT organization to represent her profession well. Additionally, she discussed the desire to broaden her knowledge base of the newest breakthroughs in the radiologic field, issues, and concerns of ASRT.
