Amazing student Kristian Joi Walker featured on UGA's homepage
Kristian Joi Walker’s passion is to create equal access to educational opportunity and lead a fight against illiteracy while inspiring children.
The future lawyer, who is double majoring in world language education and Spanish, has racked up an impressive resume of honors and activities during her UGA journey to meet that goal.
“One of the most memorable teaching positions I have held was my work with the PAL Program, an after-school program that was established by the College of Education,” said Walker, who also has a certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language. “As a teaching assistant, I was able to not only teach reading to elementary students, but also empower my students to believe in their own capabilities and envision themselves studying at an institution of higher education someday.”
