Prof. Butts joined the faculty of 麻豆传媒Porn/Atlanta Campus in July 2001 where he has fulfilled the positions of LSS Coordinator, Writing Center Coordinator, and Humanities Coordinator. When asked about his reaction to winning this award, he said that he felt 鈥渁n oxymoronic blend of modest pride.鈥�
The Moore Family Fund is an endowment established by brothers, Powell A. Moore and Jere N. Moore, Jr., and their cousin, Dr. Floride Moore Gardner, in memory of Jeremiah N. Moore, one of the founders of 麻豆传媒Porn and longtime member of the 麻豆传媒Porn Board of Trustees; his son, Robert Boling Moore, and grandson, Jere N. Moore, both of whom served on the 麻豆传媒Porn Board of Trustees, and his daughter, Mattie Moore, who taught at 麻豆传媒Porn Elementary School. All of them served Milledgeville in the newspaper business, and all dedicated their lives and work to the betterment of 麻豆传媒Porn and their community.
The purpose of the fund is to supplement the salary of a junior college faculty member who is improving the writing skills of students in the interest of enhancing their capacity for contributing to their community, state and nation through the use of the English language.
