We are Back to Business at the BLC!
MAKE ATHENS YOUR NEXT DESTINATION AT NEW B&B
Cameron (BBA '04) and Candice Treadway (AB '03), real estate agents at 5Market Realty, discovered a need for lodging space in the Five Points area which inspired them to create ATHBNB's The Rushmore. The Treadways celebrated the opening of their luxury bed-and-breakfast at a ribbon cutting with members of the Athens community, including Mayor Kelly Girtz. The historic home was renovated to create a modern look, while preserving some of the original materials including hardwood floors, brick exterior, and the majority of windows which were able to be preserved. The Rushmore will offer 14 suites, each developed by local design company Metal + Petal. Maintaining the local feel, breakfasts will also be provided by Cafe on Lumpkin.

BURNHAM NAMED ABWA SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
The American Business Women’s Association (AWBA), Iris Chapter, awards a scholarship to a student majoring in business or a business-related field on the University of Georgia Griffin Campus annually. This year the scholarship was open to students in the Terry College of Business, those pursing a degree in Agribusiness, or those in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. Dusty Burnham, a senior general business major, was selected as the 2021 recipient. “The ABWA Iris Chapter has a proud history of supporting women as they expand their education and pursue their dreams. We are all honored to support Dusty in her education,” stated Kathleen Smith, President of the ABWA Iris Chapter. “We are proud of all her accomplishments and look forward to seeing her develop her talents further as she builds her life ahead.”
Burnham was inspired to pursue an education in business when she discovered it would allow her to master the entire process. Burnham describes herself as someone who does not like to do the same thing each day, loves to be challenged and never wants to stop learning. By studying general business, she was able to learn about accounting, marketing, management, and psychology all wrapped into one degree.
“I love to be challenged to learn more to climb the ladder and I wanted to have the knowledge to complete other things outside of my job description,” she stated. “It was the best decision I could have made for my future.”
