“I love being involved,” says 20-year-old Miranda Davis, who will be a junior in DSC’s Early Childhood Education program next fall.
A Chatsworth native and 2003 graduate of Murray County High, Miranda was involved in numerous high school activities, including the Indians’ basketball and volleyball teams, Student Council, National Honor Society, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and much more.
So when she came to Dalton State, Miranda jumped in with both feet. As Co-President of the Phi Theta Kappa honorary society, she sits on the Presidents’ Council. She also serves as a member of the Student Activities Council (SAC), the Fine Arts and Lecture Series committee, the Discipline Committee and Circle K.
Yet even with all of her extracurricular activities at DSC, not to mention the time and energy it takes to maintain a 3.8 GPA, she even found time to coach an All-Star Girls’ (11-12 year-olds) basketball team to a second place finish this spring.
“One of the things I really want to do is coach basketball and volleyball,” she says, recalling her days competing on two squads.
Miranda plans to graduate from Dalton State in 2007 and begin teaching, followed closely by enrolling in a master’s program, most likely in school counseling. She eventually hopes to be involved with school administration.
Miranda, a 2003-2004 recipient of the DSC Foundation’s Fincher-Loughridge Scholarship and a 2004-2005 recipient of the Foundation’s Sophomore Merit Scholarship, is very grateful for the personal attention she’s received at DSC.
“My classes have been challenging, and I knew they would be before I came here,” she says. “But I’ve had some really great professors along the way.”
