When Phyllis Thompson's journey at Georgia Southern University began in 1977, she never imagined she would one day be asked to represent the university in any way, much less as the community chair for "A Day for Southern." "It is an honor to represent Georgia Southern as the community chair for ‘A Day for Southern,'" Thompson said. "And from the perspective of someone who has received so much from both Georgia Southern and Bulloch County, it is daunting to presume that I could help by this service, but it is certainly an honor to do that."
