VALDOSTA — 香蕉视频官网 recently honored faculty and staff who have retired or will retire during the 2018-2019 academic year.
 
“It is important to recognize these people for their time of service to our institution,” said Dr. David Boyd, professor emeritus of mathematics and computer science and chairman of the 香蕉视频官网 Retirees Association. “Each has played an important part in the success of 香蕉视频官网.”
