About James PippinJames Pippin is a scholar of the dual-degree program at the Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, Georgia called the Cooperative Developmental Energy Program (CDEP) founded July 1983. He is pursuing his first degree of mathematics at Fort Valley, and hopes to attend either the partnering universities Pennsylvania State University for Geophysics or University of Texas in Austin.
James was born in 1996 in San Antonio, Texas, but before he turned two years old his family moved to central Georgia where he has spent the majority of his life. He found his passion for math while helping other prosper in their own math classes. It is CDEP that solidified his desire for Geology to be his second degree so he can achieve his career goals within the STEM field. |
