UWG Newnan celebrates scholarship recipients and welcomes new students to UWG
On May 23rd, the staff of UWG Newnan treated scholarship recipients to a pizza lunch after awarding certificates to some new and current students. Eleven students receiving scholarships this fall were invited to attend the lunch. Several UWG Advisory Board members also attended. Rockback Pizza of Newnan donated the pizzas for the lunch.
Eight scholarships were presented by the Newnan Center, and three others were presented by the local chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa teacher sorority on the previous Saturday. ADK raises funds each year in order to present scholarships to a student from each of the 3 high schools who plan to pursue a teaching career. Eight of the eleven recipients are incoming freshmen who will graduate from local high schools May 24, 25, and 26. Eight of the eleven are majoring in Early Childhood Education; one in secondary education; and two in Nursing. Dr. Mullins has given us the names of eight other high school graduates from Coweta County who will attend UWG in the fall.
