The Technical College System of Georgia named 2019 Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education delegate from Central Georgia Technical College, Virginia Scott, its Spirit and Social Media Award Winner for her enthusiasm amongst her fellow delegates during its recent adult education conference.

Scott, 32, earned her GED from the College’s Adult Education Division in 2017, and represented CGTC as a delegate at the EAGLE Leadership Institute in Atlanta in March.

Just four years ago, Scott was incarcerated, without custody of her children, and said she had deep thoughts of only ever being one of those “negative statistics”.

Scott turned the negative into a positive, becoming one of 22 delegates from each of the TCSG Adult Education programs attending the Leadership Institute. The Institute recognizes and honors those students who have demonstrated superior achievement in adult education classes and programs. TCSG also named its overall EAGLE Winner to represent the adult education programs statewide for the next year.

Scott enrolled in a local college this year and is now taking business and communications courses. Read more of her story here: CGTC ADULT EDUCATION DIVISION NAMES VIRGINIA SCOTT 2019 EAGLE DELEGATE.
