GSU MACIE

[insert standing ovation here] 💙 Our very own Dr. Stacey French-Lee was awarded Georgia State University’s 2025-2026 Outstanding Faculty Achievement Award!!

This award recognizes a non-tenure track faculty member for outstanding achievements in their assigned areas of specialty (scholarship/creative works, teaching, and/or service). The field of education is stronger because of Dr. French-Lee’s contributions — leadership of GSU’s two child development centers, scholarship on the role intersectionality plays in education - especially of African American boys, teaching and mentoring of graduate students, and service on the board of directors of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, to name a few examples.

We couldn’t be prouder! Thank you, Dr. French-Lee, for pouring into our MACIE grad students! 💙💙💙

Bravo to our very own MACIE alum Tiffany!! She’s continuing to take risks & develop her creative self — and we couldn’t be more excited! Cheer her on at 💙

Hit “submit” by May 1st! It’s time to begin your ahhh-mazing journey with the M.A. in Creative & Innovative Education (MACIE) program at Georgia State University! 💙

It pushes me to see challenges as opportunities for creativity, allowing me to explore new ideas that feel meaningful while feeling supported to grow as a thinker and a leader.” – Kennedy Sneed ._
