Jennifer Conley Eubanks M.S., School Partnership Manager
An Augusta, Georgia native since 1985 she relocated to South Carolina to pursue a career with College Summit.  Prior to her move she attended the University of Georgia and earned two Bachelor degrees (B.S. 2001, B.S.Ed 2004), a Certificate of Non-Profit Organizations (2006) and a Masters of Science (2007).  While in graduate school she was elected by her peers to be the President of the Graduate Student Organization.  During graduate school she won one of two scholarships to attend a Family Legislation conference in Washington, D.C. (2005).  She has an extensive history working with children of various ages, developmental stages, and in a variety of settings.  Past work history includes roles such as high school teacher, Family Contractor for Georgia Mentor, family consultant for an Augusta non-profit organization, legislative aide assistant to the Dean of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, and teaching assistant at the University of Georgia.  The unifying theme of her past career choices is that she strives to assist children and families have positive outcomes and promising futures.

The graduate of The Florida State University in three years with a B.A. in History desires to pass the torch of college access to his fellow South Carolinians: “I want to help give back to an organization that reached out and gave to me.”
