Spring Educators Academy

Twenty educators from across the state traveled to West Columbia to attend College Summit’s Spring Educators Academy on March 3, 2011 Midlands Technical College-Airport Campus.

The day-long training program equipped educators with the information and tools needed in order to support their students through postsecondary planning, college admissions, and the financial aid process – all necessary components of building a college-going culture within their classrooms. Sessions included: Junior Recruitment, Beyond Graduation: What Comes Next, and a special session on financial literacy conducted by guest speaker Iva Walters, Business Development Director,  with SC Federal Credit Union.
