Annual Tribute to Community STARs APRIL 6, 2012
This event, held each spring, recognizes unsung heroes in our community. The first Tribute to Community
STARs event was held in April 2007 and began a tradition of celebrating
the achievements and contributions attained by the outstanding men and
women in our community. Often times, we don't take the opportunity to
say thank you to others for a job well done or to recognize ones impact
he or she has made in the community. The Savannah Technical College
Foundation honors these individuals that make a difference!
Sponsorship of the Tribute to Community STARs supports the College's mission of workforce development in our region.

Annual Opportunity Gala
Founded in 1929 as The Opportunity School, this annual signature event began with our 75th anniversary year in 2004. From the very beginning, this institution has been creating opportunities through technical education. The Foundation felt it was only fitting to honor individuals who have devoted their lives to the same undertaking.
The Opportunity Gala, held in December of each year, honors deserving civic leaders for a lifetime of service in creating and enhancing opportunities for others to succeed. These individuals have demonstrated a commitment to creating opportunities for Georgians both locally and at the state level.
In 2011, we proudly honored Howard J. Morrison, Jr. His ability to bring people together around important ideas is just one of the attributes that make Howard special in our community. Since returning to Savannah in the mid-1990s, he has been instrumental in bringing technology and new thinking to the region, with a particular focus on education.
Past recipients include: Former Governor Zell Miller , Arnold Tenenbaum , Judge Griffin Bell , Tom Coleman, Dick Eckburg, Arthur M. Gignilliat, Jr., Bob and Alice Jepson and Howard Morrison.
