Lunch career series continues with local businessman

Tallulah Falls School continued its series of lunch and learn events on Jan. 22 with TFS Board of Trustees member Matt McClurg, vice president/loan officer with South State Bank. 

The series is designed to connect upper school students to career professionals, according to Upper School Academic Dean Kim Popham. 

McClurg provided an overview of the profession, including a discussion of the educational requirements following high school graduation for students interested in business or finance. 

"The students who attended were a good variety of freshmen to seniors and were very attentive," McClurg said. "They asked good questions; I certainly hope they were able to take away some good input about a potential career field in business/banking." 

Student feedback:

Freshman Mei Hui Develasco of Toccoa
"As students, we don't always have a career path set in mind, so this program is beneficial for us because people specializing in their field get to share with us what it's like to work in their profession."

Sophomore Emma Barrett of Clarkesville​​​​​​​
"When the school brings in different people to speak to us, it opens new doors. Mr. McClurg did an amazing job talking with us about finance and more. I will forever be thankful for everything that Tallulah Falls School offers us."
