Student Ambassadors

Our student ambassadors for the 2018-2019 academic year.

	Courtney Bach Junior- Accounting and Management (double major) Jacksonville, Florida Advice to future Shorter Hawks: Don’t chose a school based on how popular it is or what other people think. Chose a school based on where you feel most comfortable. The school that is best for you both academically, financially, and spiritually. Big schools aren’t for everyone, they definitely weren’t for me, and sometimes all we need is a family where we know everyone on campus. Choose a school that is perfect for you and everyone around you will catch on to how truly great it is too!
	Roni Bowman Junior- Psychology Hogansville, Georgia Favorite Bible Verse: Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
	Whitley Brooker Junior- Early Childhood Education Dalton, Georgia What has God taught you during your time at Shorter? He has taught me to trust in Him and his perfect plan for my life. If I have learned one thing from God during my time it is that God provides. When He provides for us He is going to provide abundantly and more than we could possibly ask of Him.
	Andrea Davis Sophomore- Business Management Rome, Georgia What was one of the major factors that influenced you to attend Shorter? One of the major factors that influenced my decision to come to Shorter was not only the family atmosphere, but my tour guide. She became one of my greatest friends and one of the most influential women in my life.
	Zach Dimmock Junior- Communication Major Oneonta/Cullman, Alabama Favorite thing about Shorter: Community, Grace even in failure
	Lizzie Drake Junior- Musical Theatre Augusta, Georgia What was one of the major factors that influenced you to attend Shorter? What is one of the major factors that influenced your decision to come to Shorter?- I  came to Shorter on a Musical Theatre scholarship, so, the School of Fine and Performing Arts had a huge role in my coming to Shorter. After visiting many schools and being offered the same amount of scholarship money, and more, the environment at Shorter and the Christ -centered focus really helped me be confident in my decision to come to Shorter.
	Jack Dodge Senior- Youth Ministry Cartersville, Georgia What has God taught you during your time at Shorter? He has taught me to make the most of the opportunities that are presented to me.
	Celia Floyd Junior- Business Management Dallas, Georgia Advice to future Shorter Hawks: My advice for incoming freshman would be to get involved on campus. This is the perfect opportunity to make friends. Since SU is a smaller school it is great to find your place by finding things to be a part of. There are many opportunities on campus! It will help you find your place on campus and always give you something to do!
	Jennifer Hanner Junior- Nursing Gaylesville, Alabama Favorite Bible Verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9: “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
	David Leutzinger Junior- Chemistry Cordele, Georgia What is your favorite thing about Shorter? The Admissions Office!!
	Logan McKenzie Senior- Youth Ministry and Political Science Fort Payne, Alabama What have you learned while being at Shorter? Knowledge leads to a lot of things but knowledge does not lead to spirituality. Instead, spirituality leads to knowledge and that’s why we must keep spirituality first. I thought that since Youth Ministry was my major that I would flourish in my personal growth with Christ and be able to skip reading my Bible in the morning if I was late to class or at night if I was tired but that lead to a diminished spiritual life that relied on the knowledge I was gaining in the classroom and not spiritual knowledge from experience.
	Cally Glass Senior- Nursing Athens, Alabama Favorite Bible Verse: My favorite verse is Psalm 61:2 which says, “When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to The Rock that is higher than I.”
	Noah Hunt Junior- Theatre Calhoun, Georgia What was one of the major factors that influenced you to attend Shorter? The relationships with professors and faculty.
	Macon Jones Junior- Christian Studies Rome, Georgia My favorite thing about Shorter University: The people. I enjoy the friendships that God has allowed me to make thus far and I’m excited to make new friendships!Favorite Bible verse: Philippians 1:21 – For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
	Genna-Leigh Williams Junior- Musical Theatre Ooltewah, Tennessee What was one of the major factors that influenced you to attend Shorter?  actually had my heart set on another shop but God closed all the doors on that one and provided me with the financial support and peer mentorship to lead me to Shorter.
	McKenna Massengale Lead Ambassador Senior- Middles Grades Education, Minor – Missions McDonough, Georgia Advice to future Shorter Hawks: For any incoming student, I would encourage them to jump right into life on the Hill. Get involved in groups and organizations and find ways to meet people and find ways to serve others.
	Heather Ortiz Senior- Biology (Pre-Med) Calhoun, Georgia What was one of the major factors that influenced you to attend Shorter? Close to home & through God’s guidance.
	Brooke Renfroe Junoir- Communications Dacula, Georgia What is one of your favorite things about Shorter? My favorite thing about Shorter is the ability you have to become a name instead of just a number.  Coming to Shorter I have discovered that there are people and professors out there who care about helping you further your career as well as caring for your relationship with the Lord, and combining the two together.
	Joy Romano Sophomore- Nursing Jefferson, Georgia What is one thing God has taught you during your time at Shorter? To rest in Him–I thrive off being busy but the Lord taught me a lot about rest and slowing down during my mission trip to the Horn of Africa through BCM on campus.
