April 24, 2023The Calhoun Community College Warhawk Student Ambassador program is now accepting applications for its new slate of student representatives for the 2023-24 academic year.
This Program is an excellent leadership opportunity for students who are enthusiastic about serving and representing the college at various on- and off-campus events. Calhoun’s Student Ambassadors provide campus tours to current and prospective students, assist as information agents for other students, faculty, staff as well as campus visitors. They also serve as official student representatives for college events.
“This program is extremely unique and continues to grow each year”, commented Dr. Patricia Wilson, Calhoun’s Vice President of Student Services. “As soon as the application process opens, we receive a large number of applications from students with very impressive backgrounds, which makes the selection process really competitive,” she added. The selection for the program is based on a limited number of open slots, demonstrated leadership, commitment to service and high scholastic achievements.
To be eligible, students must meet the following qualifications:
- Complete the online application
- Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Must be enrolled at Calhoun full-time (12 semester hours)
- Must be a first-time freshman or student returning for a second year at Calhoun
- Must attend tryouts (Date TBD)
- Demonstrate leadership skills
- Positive personality
Upon acceptance into the program, students receive a partial scholarship, which is equivalent to two 3-semester hour classes during the fall and spring semester of each year that they serve. “Calhoun has been very fortunate over the years to continue to recruit dynamic student leaders”, commented Takeema Johnson, Calhoun Advising Supervisor and Warhawk Sponsor. “Each year we look forward to engaging with the Ambassadors to equip them with the leadership skills necessary to mentor other students as well as reach their own academic goals”, added Johnson.
