“The friendship and support that Tommy and Chantal Bagwell show our college each year is extremely humbling,” Dr. Perren said. “The lives of Lanier Technical College students they impact each year with their support and generosity is staggering. It is an honor to have the Bagwells and American Proteins as part of our family. At this time of Thanksgiving, weour Lanier Technical College faculty, staff and students are very thankful for Tommy and Chantal Bagwell.”
