Hannah
Demmitt (Dec ’14) and Mumbi
Mwaura (Dec ’14) have been accepted into The University of Georgia
Graduate School’s Emerging Leaders
Program. The Emerging Leaders
Program is an invited leadership workshop sponsored by the Graduate School. Held during Fall break, this two and a
half-day intensive program helps students gain the professional development and
leadership skills necessary for entering a workplace characterized by a
diversity of people, career opportunities, and ever increasing
responsibilities. The competitive application
process required students to write an essay on their motivation to participate
and what they would bring to the program, and a letter of recommendation from
their advisor describing their qualifications, skills, and potential for
leadership.
Dr. Salm Ward, Coordinator of the MSW/MPH program, notes, “I
strongly believe Ms. Demmitt and Ms. Mwaura will actively contribute to their
own learning experiences as well as their fellow learners. With their dual preparation in Social Work
and Public Health, they bring together two complementary perspectives to
enhance human well-being.”
Congratulations Ms. Demmitt and Ms. Mwaura!
