Newberry College Teaching Fellows Meet U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan

May 14, 2012

ROCK HILL Teaching Fellows from Newberry College and other institutions in South Carolina met with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan in the nations capital during Teacher Appreciation Week as part of their Sophomore Experience, an enrichment activity that enhances the advanced preparation Fellows receive for a career in the classroom. This year the Teaching Fellows campus directors at six institutions took their sophomores to Washington, D.C. to visit historical landmarks, the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, and the U.S. Department of Education.

It is such a privilege that the Fellows from several institutions in South Carolina were able to be a part of a project that the U.S. Department of Education is doing, stated Lynn Dowd, Teacher Fellows Campus Director at Newberry College. It was quite an honor.
