On Dec. 23, 2020, the Georgia Southern University Coaching Education Program announced our first-ever "Students of the Semester" to recognize outstanding achievement in fall courses. Honorees were nominated by the Coaching Education faculty for their performance during the semester. This inaugural class of eleven honorees included five graduate students and six undergraduate students, including one coaching minor of the semester.

Congratulations to Taylor McMinn, a Fall 2020 Georgia Southern Coaching Education Graduate Student of the Semester! McMinn's willingness to learn has set her apart from her peers, and led to exceptional performance in her coursework.

"Taylor has an inquisitive spirit and has shown an immense love of learning. She has performed well in the course and has been able to really see how to apply research to her coaching practice," raved Dr. Jody Langdon- McMinn's KINS 6132 (Resarch Methods) professor.

McMinn is especially appreciative of the unique learning environment provided by the Georgia Southern Coaching Education program.

"I really enjoy the Coaching Education program because it provides a kinesthetic learning experience while giving you resources to help you with challenges along the way," said McMinn. 

Congratulations again to Coach Taylor McMinn, a Georgia Southern University Graduate Student of the Semester for Fall 2020!
