Theatre and dance alumna shines light on opportunities for Atlanta public school students

Bria Price ’14, a theatre and dance graduate from ������, remembers the time when she was accepted to ������. “I was actually at a dance concert that I was the costume designer for, and I got my email, and I literally did a twirl in the lobby of the theatre, like ‘yes!’ I loved ������ so much,” shared Price, who focused on modern dance at the College. A significant deciding factor for her college decision was sorting out the financial aspect, which the financial aid team made simple.��

“When it came to the decision of ������, they said, ‘I’m also going to talk with you about the finances. And when talking with you about those finances, you can still make that choice to ask if ������ is what you want,’” said Price. “It was a decision that I was able to make but also I knew ������ was investing in my education through a scholarship that I love called the Allen scholarship.”��

While on campus, Price was part of numerous organizations, including the Dance Company, Sorority Life with Delta Theta Psi, and the Black Student Association (BSA). She also helped found ������’s Shades of Gold a cappella group, as well as participated in the cheerleading team.��

“I wanted to be part of those different activities because when I went to ������, I knew what I was going to study, but I didn’t know who I wanted to be,” Price expressed. “I started exploring different things that I found I really loved and enjoyed.”��

Price currently is the senior manager of college success at Achieve Atlanta, a non-profit organization that works with students attending public high schools to help them afford and access higher education.��
