Our students are among the strongest advocates for the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.  Through a new Student Ambassadors Program, undergraduates can formally support the College by sharing their experience and enthusiasm with a variety of constituents. 

Twelve students have been selected as ambassadors for the upcoming academic year. They will help represent IAC to prospective students and their families, alumni, strategic partners, and friends of the College through a wide array of activities including liberal arts campus tours, freshman orientations, outreach to high schools, and promoting the college through social media.

“These are outstanding students and we are extremely pleased to have them dedicate their time to support College activities that educate and inspire our liberal arts community,” said Elizabeth Miller, Manager of Enrollment and Student Affairs, who initiated the program.

Following are some of the reasons for wanting to participate in the program shared by applicants:

"I have a story to tell about why I became a liberal arts major and how I came to love what I do through the Ivan Allen College."

"I have had so many great experiences in the classroom, educational and social, that have challenged the way I think and learn and that is an experience I want to pass on to others."

"This is my chance to give back to the Ivan Allen College that has helped me enjoy my undergraduate education and make a difference."

"I would take a lot of pride in knowing that, 10 years from now, the Ivan Allen College had reached new heights in part because of the IAC [Student] ambassadors."

Under Miller’s supervision, the ambassadors undergo extensive training to prepare them to communicate the mission and culture of the College, promote Georgia Tech/IAC pride, and encourage lifelong involvement with the College.  Ambassadors serve a one-year term providing 10 hours of service each month and 25 service hours during the summer.

Applicants came from across our six schools.  Following are the 2011-20112 Student Ambassadors and their majors.  Their profiles and more about the program will be available soon at ambassadors.iac.gatech.edu.  Michael Boland -IAML, Alex Dabrowska -IAML, Graham Goldberg -PUBP, Cody Hutchings -HTS, Emily Jackson -IAML, Kaitlyn Johnson -IAML, Elizabeth Perreault -GEML, Shawn Skolky- PUBP, Zack Smith -PUBP, Rebekah St. Clair -PUBP, Vett Vandiver -STAC, Nanki Walia -ECON, Cassie Xie -STAC
