🎓Spring 2026 Liberal Studies Graduation Spotlight: Georgia Jackson!

Georgia, tell us about a challenge you overcame.

"I hit a bump in my college career where I really doubted myself a lot and was contemplating if I would make a good teacher or not. During this time I was super negative and hard on myself and often times was comparing myself too much to others. It was during this time that I had some of the best family and friends who picked me up and got me out of that mindset. I started working in a school district as an aide and I instantly knew that education and working with kids is where I belong. From there on out I learned to be gracious with myself because at the end of the day I was still learning things and growing."

Congratulations, Georgia! We're so proud of you and how far you've come! We know you'll provide that same level of encouragement and support to all your future students!
