FHU Photography Inspires Jackson Christian Elementary Students

Freed-Hardeman University photography students inspired Jackson Christian Elementary and Early Learning Village students to consider a career in photography during the school's career week.

FHU Assistant Professor of Art Jud Davis asked for student volunteers to serve at the career day booth. Four FHU students dressed up as popular characters for career day kids to select which who they wanted a photograph with. They also could take the opportunity to learn how to take photos.

Freshman Madalyn Spicer dressed as Spider-Man, Bradi Mason was Anna from Disney's "Frozen," Anniston McCall was dressed as Elsa also from "Frozen" and Emily Golson dressed as a wizard.

Additional FHU students who participated include Brooke Mefford, Micah Barber, Lexie Bell, Brooke Webb, Bradi Mason, Hannah Young and Robert Young, Jr.

Brooke Webb and Lexi Bell, both photography majors, are former Jackson Christian students.

There were 50 presenters during the Jackson Christian career day including City of Jackson Mayor Scott Conger, the local fire and police departments, Jackson Energy Authority, a hairdresser, banker, dentist and wedding planner. About 350 students attended the career day walk-through.

Jackson Christian's fifth annual career day also included job interviews for fifth graders, a career day parade led by Mayor Conger, and three chapel speakers during career week.
