🌟 Meet Candice Groves, the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed French and journalism teacher at Blytheville High School! ✈️ After just returning from a trip to Europe with her students, Candice attended her presentation full of energy. She had previously tried to earn a master's degree but found the on-campus program too inflexible. Thanks to the U of A's online program, she successfully earned her master's in educational technology. 📚

Candice decided to go for it when COVID-19 pushed more teaching online. "I also learned so much from being an online student that helps me in my teaching," she said. 👩‍🏫🎓

Heather received a grant to help students with special needs transition from school to adult life and earned a graduate certificate in that specialization. 🏆 One of her impactful projects was a resource map to guide families in finding essential services.
