Pelion, S.C. – In January, Aidan Jones from Pelion, S.C. will join outstanding middle school students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, the Presidential Inauguration Alumni Program in Washington D.C.
The Presidential Inauguration Alumni Program is one of the Envision family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.
Aidan Jones is an honor student at Pelion Elementary School who has been selected to attend this educational program. Aidan has previously attended Envision’s STEM camp in the summer of his third grade year, and he will be representing his school in July in Washington D.C. at Envision’s Junior National Young Leaders Conference.
“As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Aidan Jones to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision. “Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At the Presidential Inauguration Alumni Program, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel in high school, college, and the workplace. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges, and with new people, which, given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.”
Part of WorldStrides, a leading provider of educational travel and experiences, Envision offers programs designed to help students develop the leadership, scholarship, and career skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive college and career landscape. Since 1985, Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students from more than 145 countries.
