MOULTRIE STUDENTS CHOSEN AS ABAC AMBASSADORS

TIFTON— John Kimbrell and Marcella Vargas of Moultrie, both Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College students, have been selected to participate in one of the most prestigious organizations on campus, the ABAC Ambassadors.

Kimbrell, a sophomore agriculture education/political science major, is the son of David and Judy Kimbrell and serves as parliamentarian of the organization. Vargas, a freshman dental hygiene major, is the daughter of Marcelo Vargas and Josefina Ortega.

Through a process involving application, letters of recommendation, and interviews, college administrators choose students whom they believe to be motivated and who show leadership potential to serve as Ambassadors.

The Ambassadors assist the offices of public relations and admissions, representing and promoting the college at a variety of community and college events. They work to maintain positive relationships between students, faculty, alumni, and the community.

To continue in the organization, students must maintain at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale and commit at least 35 hours per semester to their service as Ambassadors.
