VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩’s Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business 政府 donated the proceeds from Misty Copeland’s recent campus visit to Valdosta Early College Academy to support the academic success of its students.
“Misty Copeland came from a background similar to many VECA students,” said Dr. Brian Gerber, faculty coordinator for the STEAM Center for Applied Creativity and Innovation. “Therefore, it was a natural fit to give the proceeds, totaling $7,500, to VECA students to provide them the opportunity to develop their talents, whatever they might be. The donation will support VECA’s mission to do whatever it takes to help students succeed academically so they can graduate high school and attend college.”
科普兰是一名芭蕾舞演员，她克服了动荡的童年和许多障碍，成为纽约市美国芭蕾舞剧院第一位非裔美国女首席舞者。 在美高梅博彩期间，她花时间问候维加学生，并给予他们鼓励。
“Her model of grace and beauty and how she overcame various struggles in her life resonates with our students,” said Dr. Mae McKinney, VECA principal. “This donation means that VECA students will be provided more resources for greater learning opportunities in and outside of the classroom.
“It is our goal to use this donation to further VECA's education program by providing and funding more innovative tools through technology, classroom supplies, professional learning for teachers, and field experiences for students outside of the classroom. 很明显，vs上理解教育的价值，以及这笔捐款将对veeca学生产生的影响。 We are truly grateful.”
The donation was generated by ticket sales to Copeland’s keynote talk, table donations from a dinner with Copeland, and sponsors of her vs上 visit. 艺术家和赞助人是The Scruggs Company， Coleman Talley, Fresh Beginnings/ELEAD1ONE, dr。 Roy和Cheryl Copeland， Charlene Blache博士，以及农商银行。
这张支票是在她讲话前的晚宴上出示的。
VECA是瓦尔多斯塔市学校系统中的一所学校，与vs上合作。 学生在大四结束时可以获得高中文凭和60个学时的大学学分。 VECA的目标人群包括低收入的第一代高中/大学生，他们是有潜力的学习者。 学生可以使用许多vs上资源，并被认为是大学学习者社区的一部分。
