Your gifts to the COE at work...
 Amanda Pichon
2010 Recipient of the Dr. Jerry Robbins Endowed Scholarship in Mathematics
"It was a great honor to receive the Jerry Robbins Endowed Scholarship in Mathematics from the College of Education at GSU. All the education students in the program work hard to grow as educators and after a long four semesters, receiving this scholarship showed acknowledgement for all that work. I am grateful to give back today as an alumnus so that other students may also share my experience."
