If you've been on campus in the last four years, there is a good chance you've probably met Shay.
It is a rarity to find a student club or piece of the campus community that Shay has not somehow been involved with or brushed up against during her time as a Yellowjacket the last four years, but her passion for community and supporting those around her has fueled not only her involvement, but her research on campus as well.
Learn more about Shay and her journey at MSUB at the link below.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (‘The Duke of Ed’) is an exciting international youth development program in which all of our elected Year 9 Leaders participate, along with other students who nominated to be part of the program. The program plays a pivotal role in developing our students’ leadership skills and resilience as they transition from Middle School into Senior School.
A big shout out to Duke of Edinburgh Leader and Head of Inclusion, Kirsty Keay for her passion and drive in leading the Duke of Ed Awards program at KG and to Middle School Principal Jessica Walker for her enthusiasm and support of the program.
The program has many benefits including:
1. Personal Development: Participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards encourages students to set goals, push their boundaries, and develop essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
2. Physical Fitness: The program promotes physical activity through its requirements for participation in sports, physical recreation, and adventurous activities, fostering a healthy and active lifestyle among students.
3. Leadership Skills: Students have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within their groups, honing their leadership abilities, decision-making skills, and confidence in their own capabilities.
4. Community Engagement: Through volunteering and service activities, participants contribute positively to their communities, developing empathy, social responsibility, and a sense of civic duty.
5. Resilience and Perseverance: Undertaking the challenges presented by the Duke of Edinburgh Awards cultivates resilience and perseverance in students as they navigate obstacles, setbacks, and the demands of the program.
6. Recognition and Achievement: Completing the program and earning the Duke of Edinburgh Award provides students with a tangible recognition of their efforts, achievements, and personal growth, enhancing their self-esteem and motivation.
7. Global Perspective: The program encourages participants to explore new environments, cultures, and experiences, fostering a broader understanding of the world and promoting global citizenship.
Below is a fantastic video produced by Education Queensland showcasing KGSC and our staff and students involved in the program.

Grit is persevering and never giving up.
It’s steady, consistent, directed effort over time.
Grit is not an outcome, it’s the process.
It’s putting your best foot forward towards a goal, even when faced with challenges that seem insurmountable.
Given the right support, I believe we all have the ability to tap into this immense strength within us.
It’s this purpose that lies at the heart of The Lindsey Vonn Foundation and it’s our mission to help support girls’ dreams from underserved communities, especially those who may not otherwise get the opportunities that they need.
I am excited to announce that our Scholarship applications are now open for 2025.

Rock Rogers, Stephen O. Amolegbe Jr., and I ran on a platform to provide every dawg the chance to have a unique and fulfilling campus experience here at the University of Georgia. We are honored and humbled by the hard work our staff has put in throughout the past few weeks.
