Teagle Alumni Thoughts

Our alumni have many positive things to say regarding the Knowledge for Freedom program at Valdosta State University. Take a look at some of their quotes below. 

 

"Many students, even myself at the beginning of the seminar, may not think that they can make a real impact with their civic engagement projects, but once you take that step, you realize that your work is helping many people and making an actual impact.”

 

“I would recommend this program to others because you learn so much about the real world outside of the high school bubble or the safe zone. You learn how to coexist with strangers and how important education is. I would tell others to join to make wonderful memories and to join so you have a safe place to understand college life. Your opinions and knowledge matter to this program. They want you to know how important you are and your education is. I love this program and everyone should take advantage of its benefits.”

 

“I think participating in this program has helped me get a head start on senior year. It has helped me to get a head start on writing essays for college while also exposing me to the work load I may face in college.”
