Lamar Institute of Technology Launches Golden Eagle Ambassador Program

9/5/2024

Lamar Institute of Technology (LIT) announces the launch of the Golden Eagle Ambassador Program. This initiative aims to welcome and guide new and prospective students, while also fostering a strong sense of community within the campus.

“A Golden Eagle Ambassador should be a student who is dedicated to their school and their studies, who has excellent interpersonal skills, who thrives in a leadership role, and who is always willing to help,” said Lindsey Grantham, LIT Student Life Coordinator. “The prospective Golden Eagle should also have at least a 3.0 GPA and no student code of conduct violations.”

The ambassadors will serve as the college’s official student representatives, playing a crucial role in introducing incoming students and their families to LIT. Their responsibilities will include hosting formal functions, sharing personal experiences at LIT, and acting as role models on campus.

“The goal of the program is to give students the opportunity to cultivate their leadership skills and help them develop professionally. We want to give students the opportunity to network with industry leaders and become involved with their school and community,” Grantham said. “These students will also help bridge the gap between the student body and administration by enhancing communication and mutual understanding.”

Selected Golden Eagle Ambassadors will receive a scholarship of $1,000 per semester, totaling $2,000 per year. They will also benefit from unique Golden Eagles apparel and opportunities to network with key industry leaders at various events.

To be considered for the program, students must complete an application by September 17, 2024. Following the submission deadline, applicants will be contacted to schedule interviews. A committee will then select five students to represent LIT as Golden Eagle Ambassadors.

“My hope is the Golden Eagle Ambassador Program gives students valuable leadership and collaborative skills that help them to be successful in anything they choose to do after leaving LIT,” Grantham said. I hope the Golden Eagles’ leave this program with a better sense of community than when they started.”
