Enthralled by the idea of lifelong learning, Ms. Dick pursued the master’s degree in Adult Education with a specialization in Training and Development at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and is currently pursuing the doctoral degree in Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations with a specialization in Cultural Studies and a minor in Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
