For teacher of the year,
SWU proved to be good fit    

Columbia AGS student Erica Millwood, a third-grade teacher and, was named Teacher of the Year at Leaphart Elementary School in Irmo.

When considering Southern Wesleyan University, Erica saw their learning environment as a great fit.

“I like small settings where you can have more of a personal relationship with people in the classroom. I went to a small college so I like the small setting that Southern Wesleyan offers, “Erica said. She appreciates how quickly she has been able to go through her degree program, taking classes that meet once a week.

“The way they lay out the courses is great. What you learn you can actually use in the classroom,” Millwood said. She added that the technology courses are wonderful because they go beyond the basic skills and teach advanced skills that are relevant to today’s classrooms filled with computers and smart boards.”
