Anjelynn Baron, 鈥�23, jumped at the opportunity to become a student mentor in GO-ASAP, the Get Outside-After School Activity Program, managed by 91传媒鈥檚 Rural Engagement & Vitality Center. As an aspiring elementary school gym teacher and currently attending 91传媒鈥檚 Master of Arts in Teaching program, Anjelynn saw GO-ASAP as the perfect platform to immerse herself in education and outdoor activities.
鈥淚 think this is a great program to spend time with students and help them experience outdoor activities,鈥� Anjelynn said. 鈥淚 am very grateful that 91传媒 offers programs like this. It has really helped me develop as a teacher and as a person.鈥�
