Be a North Georgia STAR

The North Star or Polaris – is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it. For thousands of years navigators have used Polaris to guide them to and from their homeports. Sailors still use Polaris for celestial navigation, and modern astronomers often use Polaris to help them align their telescopes.

The North Georgia STAR employee recognition program recognizes meaningful accomplishments of University of North Georgia staff employees who embody the University’s standards for excellence, efficiency, and outstanding customer service to internal or external constituents. 

The purpose of the award is to:
