Athletics Hall of Fame
Paul Stringer played baseball at North Georgia from 1950 to 1952, where he was a pitcher for head coach Jack Russell and a member of the school's rifle team. During his time as a student-athlete at North Georgia, Stringer was also a member of the Non-Commissioned Officers’ Club. His selection centers around his long-term support of the athletic programs at UNG and the Dahlonega community. The life-long Dahlonega resident has been very involved as a generous supporter of various local projects, including scholarship gifts for the Corps of Cadets, Patriot Choir, athletic teams and facility enhancement projects. He served in the Dahlonega Jaycees, Dahlonega Lions Club and Dahlonega Rotary Club. Stringer is a member of North Georgia's Board of Trustees and was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2006 and the Presidential Leadership Award in 2012.
