The South Georgia String Project won the String Project of the Year Award, presented to Director and Master Teacher Lauren Burns at the American String Teachers Association's National Conference held in Atlanta, GA on Wednesday, March 21, 2012. The SGSP was chosen out of the forty-two programs in the National String Project Consortium because of its recent growth and improvement in quality of classes offered, its impact on the university, student teaching assistants, and community, and its outreach efforts towards under-served populations in the Valdosta area.
