First Lady of the United States Jill Biden and U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona met with local schoolchildren, parents and educators at the University of Georgia’s Ramsey Student Center to learn more about a summer enrichment program offered by Horizons Atlanta.

The six-week learning experience, supported by UGA’s Mary Frances Early College of Education, combines academics with confidence-building activities like swimming, arts and athletics to help build a lifelong passion for learning.

Launched in early 2022, Horizons Atlanta at UGA will serve 270 rising 1st through 9th graders from the Athens area at full enrollment.
