  <title><![CDATA[Gregory Abrams Recognized for 25 Years of Service]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Gregory Abrams, financial administrator lead in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts Dean&rsquo;s Office, was recognized for&nbsp;25 years of service to the Institute.</p>

<p>Abrams was originally hired at Georgia Tech in 1992 as a delivery worker in Central Receiving/Business. In 1995, he moved to the College of Sciences departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry handling warehouse supply and some accounting and procurement responsibilities. This prepared him for a full time role in finance within the department, a role in which he continued for 13 years.</p>

<p>He joined the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts Dean&rsquo;s Office in 2008. In his role as financial administrator, Abrams handles day-to-day accounting processes for the dean&rsquo;s office. This includes managing Student Travel Funds, State of Georgia funds, expenses, P-Card, Georgia Tech Foundation and Research Corporation funds, as well as other financial activities in the College.</p>

<p>In looking back over his years at Georgia Tech, Greg noted the innumerable changes in how financials and procurement are processed and approved.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It is a continual learning process to stay abreast of these improvements.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve enjoyed meeting different people from around the world working here at Tech. It&rsquo;s been educational learning the different cultures,&rdquo; said Greg.</p>

<p>Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Abrams lives in Ellenwood, Georgia, with Sheryl, his wife of 28 years. When not working, Greg enjoys all and loves working in his yard.</p>

<p>Ivan Allen College&nbsp;Dean Jacqueline J. Royster said, &ldquo;We are&nbsp;honored to have Greg Abrams as part of our team and celebrate&nbsp;a&nbsp;decade&nbsp;of service and leadership for the Ivan Allen College that you have so graciously performed since I have been Dean (and, of course, for many years before that).&rdquo;</p>

<p>Congratulations Greg!</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
