Why Asya Transferred to UNCG

Asya Settle arrived at UNCG as a transfer student from a local community college. A Greensboro-native and first-generation college student, it was important to her to stay close to home while pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) program with a concentration in early childhood education.

“Originally, I was so nervous. I’d never been to a big University before. But as soon as I got here, it really felt like home. I was used to smaller settings and that’s exactly what the department offered in the classrooms. It was very calming and it felt like a family as soon as I walked onto campus.”

Settle interned at the on-campus, five-star-rated licensed Early Child Care Center during her degree studies. When she graduated, she immediately began a new position at Guilford County Schools with a newfound confidence in all that she can achieve in her career.
