Outreach: Faculty member, Clarke County students reconnect on campus
Morgan Faison, a clinical associate professor in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice, saw a familiar face on the first day of class in spring 2023.
While going down the roster, she recognized a name from her work with the Athens Community Career Academy, a program where Clarke County School District students can take high school-level career pathway classes, like teaching as a profession, or dual enroll at Athens Technical College in career pathways like early childhood education and care, criminal justice, hotel and hospitality management, business management, and more.
The student was Aida Bermudez (B.S.Ed. ’24), an Athens native majoring in elementary education who participated in the early childhood education career pathway.
