Kennesaw Student Wins Spot On Microsoft Digital Good Council

KENNESAW, GA -- A Kennesaw Mountain High School Magnet student has been chosen to participate in a Microsoft panel aimed at furthering social good online. Christina Woodrow is one of five teenagers in the United States that will join the company's inaugural Council for Digital Good.

Christina will travel to Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington campus in August for the council's first summit. Microsoft will rely on the council to educate teens on safety when it comes to online interactions. Hundreds of students submitted essays and videos to join the Council for Digital Good, explaining how they would combat cyberbullying and bias online.

“We selected nine young women and six young men, all of whom accepted, from 11 states: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington," Microsoft says in a release. "We’re excited to begin engaging with the council in preparation for the August summit.”
