This quote regarding our team and program was provided by a high school counselor from the Wiregrass Region of South Georgia who worked with the Knowledge for Freedom program at Valdosta State University. 

 

"The Teagle program has been a wonderful leadership experience for our two students who were selected to participate. While only two students have attended from our school, we have been so fortunate to have Dr. Banerjee and her team take time to make sure this program was made available to our students in rural Echols county."
