VALDOSTA -- After a year of success, 茄子视频鈥檚 new program Campus PRIDE (Personal Responsibility in Delivering Excellence) continues to promote positive, efficient service delivery through customer service initiatives and training opportunities.

Campus PRIDE is VSU鈥檚 signature program within the University System of Georgia鈥檚 Professional Development Consortium (PDC). The program is an extension of the university鈥檚 Partners for Campus Excellence and focuses on student retention and service delivery improvement.

鈥淲e are constantly recruiting students and enticing people to support our university financially, and the reason they want to support us is because of the job we do to make them feel like an integral part of the VSU community,鈥� said Training Specialist Timothy Yorkey. 鈥淓veryone can benefit from practicing some type of service delivery skills. If you enhance your skills, you are in a better position to represent the university.
