Bria Price ™14, a theatre and dance graduate from ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú, remembers the time when she was accepted to ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú. œI was actually at a dance concert that I was the costume designer for, and I got my email, and I literally did a twirl in the lobby of the theatre, like ˜yes!™ I loved ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú so much,� shared Price, who focused on modern dance at the College. A significant deciding factor for her college decision was sorting out the financial aspect, which the financial aid team made simple.
œWhen it came to the decision of ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú, they said, ˜I™m also going to talk with you about the finances. And when talking with you about those finances, you can still make that choice to ask if ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú is what you want,™� said Price. œIt was a decision that I was able to make but also I knew ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú was investing in my education through a scholarship that I love called the Allen scholarship.�
While on campus, Price was part of numerous organizations, including the Dance Company, Sorority Life with Delta Theta Psi, and the Black Student Association (BSA). She also helped found ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú™s Shades of Gold a cappella group, as well as participated in the cheerleading team.
œI wanted to be part of those different activities because when I went to ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú, I knew what I was going to study, but I didn™t know who I wanted to be,� Price expressed. œI started exploring different things that I found I really loved and enjoyed.�
Price currently is the senior manager of college success at Achieve Atlanta, a non-profit organization that works with students attending public high schools to help them afford and access higher education.
