Sarah E. Sumners, interim director and associate research scientist in the Torrance Center for Creativity and Talent Development, received the 2020 E. Paul Torrance Creativity Award from the Georgia Association for Gifted Children.

It is not only a recognition of my dedication and contribution to the field, but to all educators across the state working hard each and every day to further the legacy of E. Paul Torrance.”
