We were honored today to have alumni Janiah Tillery join us for the 2nd session in our weekly “Conversation with…” series of the new school year. Janiah is in her second year as a prestigious Fulbright Scholar teaching young people in an indigenous village in Taiwan. She graduated from The Community School in 2016 and is a member of the school’s Board of Trustees. Janiah earned her degree at Roanoke College where she did a study abroad in Taiwan as part of her language interest in Mandarin. Janiah has lived in Taiwan for almost 3 years now. The students enjoyed talking with Janiah about her experiences at TCS and shared their own stories as well. There was keen interest in what it’s like to live in another country and to be away from home for so long. We are proud of you Janiah and appreciate your continued support of the current students and the school.
