Inspired by her daughter Abigail, who is earning her bachelor’s in middle grades education, Sandra Brown decided to enroll at Brenau and pursue the highest degree in her field — a doctorate in education.
“My doctoral degree was the only thing I have left to get,” Sandra said. “Just working with her (Abigail) and helping her through some of the classwork that she has done here at Brenau, I have been inspired by the teachers, the program, and what she’s going to get out of it one day.”
Abigail, who is just two semesters away from receiving her bachelor’s, said she was motivated to follow in the footsteps of her mom, after witnessing the impact Sanda has made on the lives of her students. Sandra has taught full-time at East Hall Middle for the past 25 years, and has worked part-time at Mountain Education Charter High School for the last five years.
“I grew up going in and out of her classroom, and she has made such wonderful relationships with her students,” Abigail said “…And, I would love to do the same.”
