Georgia College & State University honors Glenn Waddell and Amy Tanner Raburn for their service to GCSU and the wider Baldwin County Community.
Waddell, of Sparta, is the 2022 recipient of GCSU’s William Bone Golden Key Award.
Bestowed occasionally, the William Bone Golden Key Award is reserved to honor friends of Georgia College who’ve rendered outstanding service to both the university and its community. Nominees are not required to be alumni or connected to the Alumni Association; however, they must not have received honors from either the university or the association within the past four years.
Waddell is a structural superintendent at GCSU and has worked there for 28 years. He has also been a big help in the community, working on Habitat for Humanity houses in Baldwin County for 20 years. He frames and trims houses, hangs doors and does additional interior work.
Waddell volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, because it makes him “feel good to provide people with a place to live.”
Raburn, class of 1996, is the 2022 recipient of Georgia College & State University’s Ethel Rae Mozo-Stewart Alumni Community Service Award.
The Ethel Rae Mozo-Stewart Alumni Community Service Award is given to graduates, as well as associate and honorary alumni. It was established in memory of an alumna from the class of ‘46, to honor the spirit of volunteerism among graduates. Candidates are characterized by a history of exemplary service, not necessarily in leadership positions, that resulted in visible improvements within his or her community.
Raburn earned her bachelor of science in early childhood education. She has worked in Middle Georgia as an educator and in local churches for over 26 years. Those roles led to her current position of executive director of Milledgeville-Baldwin Habitat for Humanity. She’s excited about their plan to build house number 20 next year.
Raburn has been married to her husband, Clint, for 26 years and they have four sons. Their son, Preston, is the fifth generation in her family to attend Georgia College.
Waddell and Raburn will be presented with their awards during Alumni Weekend on Nov. 5. – Contributed
