"Our community and our school have deep schisms in our population, having both students whose families live in poverty and those who live in affluence, so it is crucial that we provide extra enrichment and sparks to learning for them all," Mullins said. "UGA is a treasure trove for us and the community at large."
Indeed, Ms. Mullins. And Barrow Elementary is itself one of our community jewels, educating Athens school kids adjacent to UGA in a mutual informing and beneficial relationship. Dr. Lechtreck's Cell-a-Bration is inspired and speaks to the excitement of the children directly. A great example of a renowned researcher with an intuitive sense of teaching and service.
