Local student named President’s Ambassador
MAGNOLIA — Senior agriculture business major Leah Nix, of Malvern, was recently named one of 30 students chosen to be a President’s Ambassador for the 2019-20 academic year at Southern Arkansas University.
Students are selected by a committee after being nominated, submitting an application and interviewing with committees consisting of organization sponsors, staff, faculty and President’s Ambassadors. Applicants must have a cumulative 2.85 G.P.A. with at least 30 completed college credit hours.
President’s Ambassadors are the official student representatives for SAU and serve as hosts at a variety of University events, and provide tours for prospective students, parents, and other distinguished guests. They also assist the division of Enrollment Services in contacting prospective students by telephone and by mail. President’s Ambassadors receive a $1,600 scholarship per semester.
