All About the Quad Squad

Introducing the elite Quad Squad, we are THE freshman of Clayton State University; Nathan McClendon, Sydney Jenkins, Kaylyn Lassai, and Reighan Stallworth. Our first goal as a collective group is to become more comprehensive of what we read, and train ourselves to respond to these readings more effectively. We as a group intend to exceed the standards that are exemplified for the course and utilize our sources in order to succeed. We intend to retain the information we learn during the course and apply it to our every day knowledge. We are excited to be in English 1101 and to be in this class.
