It has been a big week for Turner College sophomore Jaydè Colson. On Wednesday, her participation in the new Aflac Co-Op program was featured in a news release from the CSU marketing and communications team. Yesterday, she had the honor to speak to the CSU Foundation Board of Trustees on CSU's RiverPark Campus in uptown Columbus about her journey as a business administration and human resources major in the Turner College. "I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share my story and for all the kind words and encouragement I received afterward. It was truly a memorable experience, and I appreciate everyone who made this opportunity possible," Colson stated after the presentation.
