Janiah awarded Gilman Scholarship
Janiah Tillery, 2017 TCS Graduate, has just been awarded the competitive and prestigious Gilman Scholarship to support her study of Mandarin abroad in Taiwan during the spring semester. Janiah has been attending Roanoke College on a full scholarship since graduating The Community School. She is a history major with a concentration in East Asian studies. It is Janiah’s hope to teach language in mainland China for two years after earning her bachelor’s degree with plans to earn her Master’s degree following this experience.
Since her graduation, Janiah has remained a regular at The Community School always spending part of each break here helping the students and school when she is in town. She won’t be leaving until February for Taiwan so you can catch her around TCS until then. Janiah is an inspiration to the students and we are so proud her achievements.
