Our first stop on the itinerary: Georgia Southern University! 🦅📍
We kicked off our journey with a campus visit filled with inspiration, learning, and a whole lot of Eagle pride. From exploring student life to discovering new academic opportunities, this visit set the tone for an exciting trip ahead.

Thank you to Georgia Southern for the warm welcome — we’re just getting started! 💙✨

After two incredible weeks living and learning on campus at Murray State University, our students are officially back home! From academic challenges to unforgettable memories, we’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished. 💪🎓

We wrapped up our time on campus with a special end-of-summer ceremony to celebrate their hard work and present each student with a certificate of achievement. 🏅📜

Now it’s time for a well-earned week of rest before we head to Savannah, GA to celebrate the end of our summer program and reward our students for successfully passing their classes! 🌴☀️🎉

🎉 We’re beyond proud of our students! 🎉 Four of our participants —Deandre Marcelin, Alissa McLevain, Makenzie Simpson, and Evan Whitledge— attended KY TRiO Day at the University of Louisville, where they competed in the Scholars Bowl and brought home 1st place! 🏆👏 Alissa not only earned 1st place overall but was also named team captain and made the All-Star team, alongside Deandre! 🌟 Both will represent us at the National competition in Atlanta, Georgia this April. We couldn’t be more excited for their success and can’t wait to cheer them on! Keep shining, scholars! ✨
