As a senior communicative sciences and disorders major at Alabama A&M University, Zia George wears many different hats. In addition to being a full-time honors student, she has served as treasurer and two-term president of the National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association; she is a student activist involved with Campus Vote Project; she works as a clinical assistant earning hours toward her certification; she is an officer in her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta; and she volunteers with several other organizations. Zia plans to become a doctor of speech-language pathology specializing in neonatal feeding and swallowing disorders. Her advice to those embarking on their journey beyond GCHS is: “Make your presence felt in every room you enter. This doesn’t mean being the loudest or most outspoken; rather, it’s about exuding confidence and authenticity.”
If you know a successful Gadsden City alumnus who is thriving somewhere around the world, we would love to include them in the Our Titan Family is Going Places campaign.
They can upload a short video (less than two minutes) and a photo here. The video should be an introduction of themselves, a synopsis of what they do in their career, and the coolest work-related experience they’ve had so far.
Make sure the video is between :30 and 2 minutes. The photo should be of just them with a background that reflects what they are doing in their career. They should be sure to use their name (first and last) as the file name for the photo and the video.
Along with the photo and video, they’ll need to complete the short survey here.
