The Teaching Fellows at Francis Marion University have been working hard these past few months to better not only themselves, but those around them. Our Teaching Fellows know that one of the key characteristics for a great teacher is having a caring heart. Therefore, our Fellows have been volunteering in the local community on numerous occasions.
Melayna Neupert, one of FMU’s freshman Teaching Fellows, has taken on not one, not two, but three tutoring positions. Amidst her busy school and work schedules, she finds the time to help a local fifth grader, fourth grader, and a preschooler with special needs. When asked about her tutoring, Melayna says, “I do not take this task lightly. I am molding these young minds and that is an incredible amount of pressure. The best part of this whole experience is seeing the students start to love learning.”
Teaching Fellows Travel!
Recently, two of our sophomore Teaching Fellows traveled with FMU’s Honors program to New York City.
Katey Roberson and Anna Patton enjoyed Broadway shows, the Today Show, and everything else the “Big Apple” had to offer.

Teaching Fellows Give Back!
During the months of November and December, all of our Teaching Fellows collected donations for the Foster Care Clothing Closet’s Christmas party. Fellows brought in blankets, hot cocoa, mugs, and books to be used as gifts for local foster children.
On the day of the Christmas party, four Fellows decided to volunteer at the party. Sophomore Anna Patton and junior Shelly Smith helped the children complete arts and crafts. Alex Barber, a sophomore, assisted with games. Rian Avin, freshman and owner of We’ve Got Character, had her employees come to the party as Elmo, Mickey, and Anna from Frozen. Rian came as Elsa!
