Austin Herndon Discovers Calling to Teach Through Hands-On Experience

When Austin Herndon started college, teaching wasn't part of his plan. But after gaining real-world experience in the classroom through UA Little Rock's teacher residency program, he found his purpose.

"My internship time out here at Fountain Lake Middle School with Michael Carey in eighth grade social studies solidified to me that this is what I want to do with my life," said Herndon, a Benton native who will graduate with a bachelor's degree in middle childhood education and a minor in history on May 17.
