(2012 EAGLE winner Crystal Ogburn with WGTC Adult Education Program Manager Jackie Lowe )
West Georgia Technical College has named Crystal Ogburn as its 2012 Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) winner.
The EAGLE Leadership Institute is a two day event designed to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of each of the EAGLE delegates and provide professional development sessions focused on increasing leadership, communication and life management skills.
As West Georgia Technical College’s EAGLE winner, Ogburn will compete February 13-15 in Atlanta in the EAGLE Leadership Institute. The EAGLE Leadership Institute is a two day event designed to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of the EAGLE winners. The two day event also provides professional development sessions focused on increasing leadership, communication and life management skills.
“Adult education is a critical program at West Georgia Technical College that has a positive impact not only on our students but also in our communities,” said President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “We commend her achievement and I wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.”
Ogburn was speechless when she found out she won.
“I wasn’t expecting to win,” said Ogburn, who attends classes in Luthersville. “I was just having fun writing about my family and this is where it brought me.”
Ogburn decided to pursue her GED after realizing she wanted a more one on one approach to her education. After she receives her GED, Ogburn plans to attend West Georgia Technical College and pursue a degree in Radiologic Technology.
“I’m excited, nervous and anxious about the Leadership Institute,” said Ogburn. “I’m just happy that I won.”
