Lillian Shoji participates in TEAL Youth Day at Coastal Carolina University

2018 Mar 28

Lillian Shoji, a theatre arts major of Woodstock, GA, participated in TEAL Youth Day on March 23 at Coastal Carolina Univeristy.

More than 130 elementary and middle school students from Horry County who are part of the Dalton and Linda Floyd Mentoring Program at CCU attended the event.

The purpose of the event was to provide children and youth participating in the mentoring program the opportunity to visit a college campus and to see where their mentors go to school. CCU student mentors normally visit children at their school each week. This also encouraged and motivated the children who attended to pursue higher education in the future.

TEAL Youth Day was hosted by 135 CCU student mentors, as well as student volunteers, faculty and staff members. The event featured a variety of activites that illustrated the opportunities available in college, such as athletics, service and artistic expression.
