Recruiting the best
Emily Melies, Corner Post Staff

February 29, 2004 - The results are in! The new additions to the CAFNR Ambassador team were posted February 20, 2004.

The new 2004 CAFNR Ambassadors are:
Margy Fischer - Ag Journalism
Jill Nelson - Animal Sciences
Gina Eckler - Ag Education
Heidi Griswold - Ag Business
Natalie Scherer - Ag Journalism
Chelsea Higginbotham - Ag Education
Andrew Yoder - Ag Business
Craig Hays - Ag Business
Andrew Brandt - Ag Business

Selections were based on an application, resume and interview process. Interviews were held February 16-18.

31 students (21 females and 10 males) applied for 10 available slots. There were no applicants from the School of Natural Resources.

So what does an Ambassador do? An Ambassador is responsible for recruiting students to become a part of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.

The Ambassador team is a representation of CAFNR as a whole. Ambassadors must be able to inform parents, teachers, and administrators of CAFNR's benefits. Ambassadors' roles include being an educator, a communicator, a salesperson, and a role model.

Ambassadors' are required to travel throughout the state and sometimes beyond Missouri to inform prospective students of the opportunities the college has to offer. They are asked to participate in high school presentations, phone sessions, one-on-one conversations, and postcard writings.

Congratulations to the new 2004 Ambassador team!
