LSCC Ambassadors

LSCC FOUNDATION NAMES STUDENT AMBASSADORS

Lake-Sumter Community College Foundation, Inc. recently selected seven students to serve as Student Ambassadors for the 2011-2012 academic year. Lauren Chrisman, Austin Daly, Sara Glenn, Ethan Hand, Dianne Martinez, Tyler Neece, and Kala West have assumed their responsibilities for the program, whose mission is to provide LSCC with student leaders who participate in an official capacity at special events throughout the year. This program, which brings together students from various academic disciplines and cultural backgrounds, serves to enrich and enhance leadership and communication skills, personal growth, and professional development for its membership while creating long lasting ties with their future alma mater.

The Student Ambassadors act as liaisons between LSCC and the community. Their activities are varied and include conducting campus tours, participating in special campus events, speaking to community leaders, and assisting during fundraising activities. As part of the Student Ambassador Program, students receive a scholarship to help pay for their tuition and books, as well as a stipend for their service to the college. “The LSCC Ambassadors are selected for their leadership, communication and social skills as well as their academic achievement,” said Rosanne Brandeburg, Executive Director of the LSCC Foundation.

The Student Ambassador Program is funded by the Hans & Cay Jacobsen Foundation. Because of the generous support of the Hans & Cay Jacobsen Foundation in the past, we have been able to offer this program for our students. Without the help of the Hans & Cay Jacobsen Foundation and many other supporters, the Lake-Sumter Community College Foundation, Inc. would not be what it is today.
