Ryan Ashford, a student in MGA's Master of Science in Information Technology, has been awarded the Georgia Association of Museums' 2023 Student Project Award for his work at MGA's Museum of Technology. The award recognizes contributions of student work to the field of museums and galleries. Projects show professional guidance of student effort but clearly demonstrate meaningful work by students in the design, implementation, and promotion of the nominated project.

Ashford is instrumental in the management and restoration of the Museum of Technology's many artifacts on display on the first floor of the Macon Campus Library.  He has presented some of his work at regional education conferences and at the annual Southeast Vintage Computer Fair held in Atlanta. Ashford will receive his award on January 20th in Cartersville, GA at the 2023 GAM Conference.
