Freshman Activites Board Awards Charlie Cox
Atlanta (April 30, 2009) — Please join us in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry in congratulating Dr. Charlie Cox, who won the Best Freshman Professor Award from Georgia Tech’s Freshman Activities Board. He was recognized on April 20th at the 2009 “Up with the White and Gold” awards ceremony. Charlie has been teaching freshman for only two years and was competing with many excellent professors across campus.
The mission of the Freshman Activities Board is to provide exceptional programming for the freshmen class while at the same time developing the members into leaders at the Greorgia Tech community.
Although the name Freshman Activities Board implies a devotion only to the freshman class, FAB’s impact on campus reaches far beyond the East Campus Quad. With 30 bright, enthusiastic freshman and a $10,000 budget from the Freshman Experience Program, FAB sets out to make Georgia Tech a better place. Members are developed into campus leaders as they gain experience planning successful events, interacting in a teamwork environment and collaborating with other organizations.
Congratulations, Charlie!
