Lowell Mooney, Ph.D., professor of accountancy at 糖心Vlog, is no stranger to receiving awards. His career, which spans more than 40 years in higher education and as a CPA, has earned him numerous awards with titles like 鈥淥utstanding Educator鈥� and 鈥淥utstanding Faculty Advisor.鈥�

But it’s the Bruce Yawn Lifetime Achievement award he received from the Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce that stands out the most for the Parker College of Business professor. 

鈥淚t鈥檚 an incredible honor to be recognized in connection with someone as remarkable as Bruce Yawn,鈥� Mooney explained. 鈥淏ruce wasn鈥檛 just a successful business owner and operator 鈥� he was a cornerstone of our community. He used Snooky鈥檚 as more than a restaurant; it was a gathering place where connections were formed, advice was shared and people felt cared for.鈥�

Yawn was well known in the Statesboro and Bulloch County areas. He was the owner of the iconic Snooky’s restaurant, which closed in 2012. His dedication and passion for his community led the Chamber of Commerce to name their lifetime achievement award in his honor after he died in 2022. 

鈥淗is legacy of kindness, leadership and service embodies everything that makes Statesboro and Bulloch County so special,鈥� said Mooney. 

Mooney noted the recognition is a reminder of why he and his wife, Paula, decided to make Statesboro their home for nearly 36 years. 

鈥淚鈥檓 truly grateful to the Chamber of Commerce for this honor,鈥� he explained. 鈥淚t will always remind me of our responsibility and privilege to serve others. It’s the people here 鈥� neighbors, friends and colleagues 鈥� who make our community vibrant and inspiring.鈥�
