When EC alumna, Kayla Ray '12 decided to attend Emmanuel College it was mostly for the sake of convenience and familiarity as she grew up in Royston, Ga. and her mother, Anita Ray was employed by the school. However, what she didn’t know was the role Emmanuel would play in her life and in preparing her for her time in the Peace Corps where she is now a Maternal and Child Health Volunteer in Rwanda.

Georgia Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture recently awarded 29 scholarships totaling $58,500 to students across the state for the 2018-19 academic year. The scholarships will help the students pursue degrees related to agriculture. The scholarship program is designed to recognize students who have excelled academically and demonstrate leadership in agriculture.

EC Professor, Dr. David Jordan will tell you that he’s still not sure what he wants to be when he grows up.

Growing up in Marietta, Ga. Dr. Jordan decided to attend The Citadel in Charleston, SC. where he received his B.S. B.A. in 1990 and his MBA in 1996.

Dr. Jordan first found out about Emmanuel College from friend, Dr. Earl Beatty when he asked for a favor.

“I remember getting a call from Dr. Beatty in November of 1997, a faculty member had left in the middle of the year,” he recalled. “He asked if I would come in and teach a computer class.”

Daniel is a 2015 graduate of Emmanuel College. After leaving Emmanuel, he went on to study at University of West Georgia and graduated in May with his Masters of Science in Applied Mathematics.
