With a new year comes a new group of Student Ambassadors at Southwest Georgia Technical College (SWGTC). The group of students will be actively involved in on-campus and community events including recruiting at high schools and speaking to civic groups to increase visibility and support for SWGTC.

The Ambassadors will be participating in the “iStand for Success Mentoring” Program with elementary students, SWGTC Resource Fair, Student Activity Day, President’s Receptions, SWGTC Foundation events, and New Student Orientations.

“Our Student Ambassadors personalize the College to prospective students, parents and visitors, and serve as resources to new and current students,” said SWGTC Student Activities Coordinator and Ambassadors advisor Asha Dillard.

“To be chosen as an Ambassador a student must be a team player and dedicated to becoming an effective leader with honesty, integrity, be involved in campus activities, and have a positive and enthusiastic personality,” Dillard added.

Ambassadors are also required to maintain GPA standards and abide by a code of conduct. “Being selected to serve as an Ambassador is an honor,” Dillard said. “It is also an excellent opportunity for personal and professional growth for those students chosen. They develop and refine their leadership and communication skills and can create lasting friendships and associations through their involvement on campus and in the community.”

Selected as SWGTC Ambassadors were Nichole Antoine, Angela Mitchell, Lena Pease, Kristen Haskins, Maureen Inman, Ashley Cone, Barbara Wilson, Rachel Roberts, Veronica Morey, Latravis Jones, Chequita Greene, and Shereese Kelly. Advisors for the Ambassadors are Student Activities Coordinator Asha Dillard and Retention Coordinator Gloria Lowe.
