RABUN GAP STUDENT CHOSEN AS ABAC AMBASSADOR

TIFTON— John Grist of Rabun Gap, an Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College student, has been selected to participate in one of the most prestigious organizations on campus, the ABAC Ambassadors.

Grist, a sophomore golf turf management major, is the son of David and Sharon Grist.

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.
