DOTHAN – The Troy University Wiregrass Alumni Chapter has been recognized for its service to the community and the University. During the recent Alumni Spring Reunion held on the Troy Campus, the University honored the alumni chapter with two awards.

The Wiregrass Alumni Chapter serves TROY graduates in the Alabama counties of Dale, Geneva, Henry and Houston; Georgia counties of Early and Seminole; and Florida counties of Jackson and Holmes. On behalf of the group, Shannon Collins and Gayla White accepted the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence for community service, scholarships and recruitment of new students.

The association also received the award for Most Scholarships Given by a Chapter. Last year, the alumni organization presented approximately $18,000 in financial assistance to students attending the Dothan and Troy Campuses. Funds for the scholarships were raised through the annual Troy University Wiregrass Alumni Association Jackson Thornton Invitational Golf Tournament presented by CenturyTel, the ScreenTech Wiregrass Baseball Classic and various other events.
