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

Bria Price ’14, a theatre and dance graduate from ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½, remembers the time when she was accepted to ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½. “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 ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ so much,â€� 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 ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½, 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 ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ is what you want,’â€� said Price. “It was a decision that I was able to make but also I knew ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ was investing in my education through a scholarship that I love called the Allen scholarship.â€� 

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 ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½â€™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 ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½, I knew what I was going to study, but I didn’t know who I wanted to be,â€� Price expressed. “I started exploring different things that I found I really loved and enjoyed.â€� 

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.
