PENSACOLA — Santa Rosa County residents are among Pensacola State College’s seven new student ambassadors.
Kidada Brown, Cora Cook, Amanda Faller, Bailee Reeder, Rabecca Cowen, Leah Struble and Heather Sport will serve as official PSC hosts starting this summer.
They join six returning Ambassadors — Coltin James, Alonzo Moody, Kolby Copeland, Victoria Fader, Jasmyn Hearn and Kayla Pritchett — and will represent the college during campus visits and tours, commencements, alumni and foundation activities and recruiting initiatives.
“We felt these seven young ladies exemplified the model PSC student. They are outgoing, outstanding students and great leaders in the making,” said Samantha Hill, the Ambassadors’ adviser.
The new student Ambassadors — all 2016 high school graduates — were chosen from a pool of more than 30 applicants. Criteria for selection was based on demonstration of leadership, academic achievement, community involvement and display of school pride.
Ambassadors also receive a full scholarship to PSC, which covers tuition, books, fees and other costs.
Brown, a Milton High graduate, said she looks forward to representing the college.
“Pensacola State is such a part of this community and I am proud to be one of the voices that will be sharing the good news about the college,” Brown said. “I am honored to be an Ambassador and look forward to being a PSC student.”
Cook is a Pace High grad, Faller is from Pine Forest, Cowen is from Gulf Breeze, and Reeder, Struble and Sport are all Tate High grads.
