GSCC wins state award for clean-up project Gadsden State Community College was recognized by Coca-Cola UNITED during the annual Alabama PALS Governor’s Awards Ceremony. The College was recognized on November 12 at the Wynlakes Golf & Country Club in Montgomery for its Don’t Drop It on Alabama project. This is the third year in a row that Gadsden State has been recognized with this statewide award. “The collective effort to remove litter from our surrounding communities reflects our commitment to stewardship, responsibility, and the preservation of a cleaner, healthier environment for all,” said Lynn Patterson, director of Student Activities at Gadsden State. During the Don’t Drop It on Alabama event, student groups competed in cleaning up streets and public common areas in Gadsden, Anniston and Centre. As a result, they collected 689 bags of trash. Members of all five Gadsden State campuses participated in the cleanup effort. The litter collection earned Gadsden State a $1,000 prize.
