Sandhills Community College President Alexander “Sandy” Stewart and his administrative
team celebrated employee milestones with years of services awards, retirees and various
award winners for service in the Owens Auditorium at the Bradshaw Performing Arts
Center on Wednesday, May 13.
“This is a great day to celebrate the foundation of our college and what makes it
so special to our students and our community,” said Stewart. “Without the dedication,
gifts and talents of our faculty and staff, we would not be the leaders in education
for the Sandhills community in Moore and Hoke counties. Since 1963, we have been a
critical team player to the region for educational needs, economics development, and
social mobility for thousands of families and businesses. Today we say thank to those
who have made and continue to make a difference.”
