Mayor Ted Terry of Clarkston, Georgia visited one of University College’s leadership studies classes on March 25.
The LDRS 3200 class, taught by Linda Lyons, assistant professor of First-Year and Transition Studies, received the privilege of participating in a lecture delivered by the Mayor. Terry shared his leadership experiences and work in serving an intercultural community.
Mayor Terry has spent the last decade working in the public service sector, doing everything from nonprofit consulting for organizations like the Sierra Club, Human Rights Campaign, and Environment Georgia, to campaign organizing and consulting for state representatives, state senators, county commissioners, school boards members, local officials and a U.S. Congressman.
During his time as a fundraiser, Terry personally helped raise millions of dollars for campaigns and causes, always with a focus on uniting individuals and businesses behind common goals for a better society.
