Student Ambassador Program

“
”
When I hear the term, ‘Student Ambassador,’ the first word
that comes to mind is, ‘opportunity.’ Holding this prestigious
position has helped me develop better communication skills,
improved my organizational techniques and punctuality, and
has given me opportunities to use my goal-oriented spirit to
meet new challenges. The Ambassador program illuminates
the abilities of its delegates—it truly opens doors. By utilizing
the skills I have developed while serving as a Student Ambassador, I was crowned Miss Berea Area 2009. Given that the Interview category was 35% of the overall score in the pageant,
I believe there is no better preparation for success in the Miss
Kentucky arena than serving as an SCC Student Ambassador.
The benefits gained from this preparation are not limited to
the pageant setting. These benefits may also apply to the job
market, to furthering one’s education, and to general communication skills in any field one chooses. I hope to represent
our area well in the Miss Kentucky Pageant this summer,
and I will owe a debt of gratitude to the Student Ambassador
Program at SCC.”
- Mira Spangler-Baker
Being a Student Ambassador has been more than a great honor. I’ve had opportunities to learn skills I will use for the rest
of my life. Not only did I learn skills, but I have met people
who have changed my life. This program is top notch and has
changed my life in so many ways. I believe my participation
in the Student Ambassador program contributed to my being
awarded the University of Kentucky Trustee Scholarship; only
100 of these were awarded.”
