Stepping onto campus as a first-year student and Teacher Education Fellow, Hannah Ward had a mission: make her hometown of Morganton, North Carolina proud and major in music. Through her fellowship and the Lloyd International Honors College (LIHC), Ward soon encountered mentors, opportunities, and experiences that took her down paths she had not considered and helped her discover her true calling: teaching English.
“I’m 100 percent ready to teach,” Ward says. “I love it so much.”
On Friday, May 3, the UNC Greensboro class of 2024 will cross the commencement stage at the Greensboro Coliseum. Among this year’s graduates is English major Katherine Wyrick, a literary enthusiast with an exciting future.
