Introduction!

Hello Prospective Georgetown College Students!


My name is Alyshia Powell and soon I will be embarking upon my first year at Georgetown. I am very anxious to start this journey and I am excited to share this experience with you!

A Little Background Information…

Growing up in Winchester, Kentucky and attending the only high school in the county, George Rogers Clark, fun and opportunity were somewhat limited. My friends and I made the short trip to Lexington for shopping, eating, and entertainment, but I truly enjoyed the peaceful feel of my hometown. School years consisted of homework, attending every sporting event (yes, Clark County does have some school spirit!), and bonfires with the friends on the weekends. Summers were times to relax, swimming and of course the summer job. As I progressed throughout my years in high school I began to realize the importance of my college decision and its impact on my future. That’s when I began the ultimate search for the school that best fit me.

Why I chose Georgetown…

Being such a short distance from Lexington, many seniors at GRC end up attending the University of Kentucky. Knowing that I wanted to be different and separate myself from the norm, I began looking for other colleges in Kentucky. Also, being very dedicated and passionate about my education I knew I wanted a small college with many opportunities to get involved in activities on the campus. Having lived in Georgetown growing up I was familiar with the campus, and decided to look into what the school had to offer. After visiting, meeting all of the friendly staff, and plenty of long talks with Johnnie (if you haven’t met him yet, he works in admissions and he’s GREAT!) I decided that Georgetown was the place for me! I began to apply for all the scholarships offered through the college and ended up earning enough scholarship money to make Georgetown my future home!



I am now just days away from moving in and my excitement and nerves are kicking in! I can’t wait to meet everyone I will be sharing my freshman year with. Living on my own and working through all the trials that come along with being responsible for myself and my schoolwork will be very challenging, but hopefully you will follow me as I overcome these obstacles and reveal to you the Georgetown College experience!
