His recognition as a Fulbright Scholar and his experiences abroad will not only serve his students very well, but also the entire Technical College System of Georgia, said TCSG Commissioner Ron Jackson.
“The TCSG is pleased that one of our own received the Fulbright grant. It’s a tremendous honor for Patrick and a point of pride for us,” said Jackson. “He’s an example of the consistently outstanding caliber of 6,000 instructors who teach and assist the 140,000 students of the TCSG. It’s exciting to consider the myriad opportunities that Patrick will have to share his experiences with others, especially students, throughout our system.”
We do have outstanding faculty and programs in the TCSG (and at NMTC). Our mission is to prepare students for work. Patrick is doing that with his Marketing program!

Hello and congratulations. I just want to leave some information here, that Mr. David Kirsch from Atlanta Technical College spend a term at the Felix-Fechenbach-Berufskolleg in Detmold, Germany, through the Fulbright Scholarship and Faculty Exchange Program in 2000 / 2001.

My guess is Patrick Blessinger is the "first" for the TCSG (Technical College System of Georgia), whereas Mr. Kirsch represented DTAE (Department of Technical and Adult Education). A great honor for both gentlemen!
