Profile: Saturday School for Scholars and Leaders
 Saturday is not your typical day for school but participants in the Saturday School for Scholars and Leaders are not your typical students. Saturday School, housed in the College of Education's Department of Early Childhood Education, has been providing educational opportunities for the enrichment and encouragement of gifted and talented children in grades K-8 grade since 1975. Five sessions are offered throughout the year and taught by Atlanta area educators, who teach a variety of enrichment classes, ranging from the fine and applied arts to math and science, that are designed to challenge participants at all levels. Seminars are also available to all parents of Saturday School participants. The seminars provide a look at various topics regarding educational standards in Georgia and gifted students.
Students who participate in Saturday School represent a diverse cross section of the metro-Atlanta community, coming from home schooling, private and public school experiences. Saturday School's diverse curriculum is structured to offer educational opportunities emphasizing leadership, scholarship and cultural awareness.

Why I give to the College of Education
at Georgia State University
Mary Mangham Jessie
Alumnus and Donor
(M.Ed. '76, Ed.S. '89)
"During the years that I attended Georgia State University, I was inspired, motivated and empowered to become a servant leader. Servant leaders inspire, motivate and empower others through their acts of giving. While at Georgia State, I was provided with numerous opportunities to develop my confidence and high ethical standards, relate to diverse individuals and groups and dig deeply to uncover the key drivers of high quality education. I learned that people matter and with development they can acquire the skills and attributes enabling them to become what society needs them to be. I give to the College of Education so that students who follow will have the opportunity to develop the skills and attributes they need to become the servant leaders of the future."
