Teaching at the high school and college level, she has impacted the lives of countless students. After teaching for a number of years, she created an organization that partnered businesses with schools called the Business Education Partnership. Later she held a position with the SC Department of Education where she partnered schools in South Carolina with schools abroad. Then a calling to teach at Anderson University came her way leading and there she would teach students who would follow in her footsteps as teachers. Later she would follow her love of travel and become the International Director at AU.

Her Leadership Anderson Class, Class 7, created Junior Leadership Anderson, now in its 33rd year… WOW!! Now that she is retired, she is still teaching at her church and helping to reach the next generation for Christ through grandparents as part of the Salt & Light Foundation she created!!

Please show your appreciation for Dr. Jane Cahaly!
