August 12, 2013- Albany, Ga.-- Albany Technical College named the 2013 Employee of the Year during an end of fiscal year luncheon held for faculty and staff on Friday, August 9, 2013. Maryam Saheb, Adult Education Coordinator at Albany Tech, was named as this year's winner.
Saheb has been employed at Albany Tech since 1997. Prior to her current position of Adult Education Coordinator, she held previous positions at Albany Tech of GED® Chief Examiner, Student Services Specialist, and Career Evaluator. She says she chose this path at Albany Tech because of her passion to help students succeed and grow at ATC and believes that every student should have a strong foundation to base their academic careers.
Prior to coming to Albany Tech, Saheb served as Academic Advisor at Albany State University. She holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Brewton-Parker College School of Business and has lived in Albany for over 20 years. Being a strong advocate of educational growth within the Albany community is something that she believes every successful community should share, especially when it comes to educational resources, such as Albany Tech.
Saheb says that being recognized as ATC's Employee of the Year has been one of the most memorable moments for her. She says she is proud to be a part of the ATC family and taking an active role in advancing her community and all other Service Delivery Areas.
"I have always felt a close bond and trust with my ATC family, both in my own department and campus wide," said Saheb. "When I heard my name being announced as Employee of the Year, I was speechless with gratitude," she added.
