Gordon State College Presidential Fellows Program Grows
Gordon State College’s Presidential Fellows Program continues to grow as six new students have been selected to serve with returning Fellows as the ambassadors for the president and the college.
The Presidential Fellows Program offers exceptionally talented students the opportunity to develop their leadership potential through unique exposure to events hosted on campus, substantive work assignments and horizon-broadening education opportunities. The Presidential Fellows Program aligns with the college’s five-year strategic plan, Building the Power of WE! which emphasizes student leadership experiences to increase student engagement and development.
“At Gordon State College, we are committed to providing students with a well-rounded experience that fully prepares them for success,” said Dr. Kirk A. Nooks, GSC President. “The Presidential Fellows Program is a unique opportunity for students to unlock their leadership potential. Our new Presidential Fellows are exemplary students who truly personify the Highlander EDGE, and we are looking forward to seeing what they achieve.”
The Highlander EDGE stands for the qualities that set Gordon State graduates apart: Engaged Innovators, Dedicated Scholars, Gifted Communicators, and Ethical Leaders.
The six prestigious students were vetted through an application and interview process. New Presidential Fellows include: Aastha Jaiswal, biology major from Spalding County; Frances Turner, dual enrollment student from Lamar County; Michelle Barradas, interdisciplinary studies major from Spalding County; Makayla Dorsey, nursing major from Coweta County; Tabish Ghani, business administration and management major from Spalding County; and Amber Gosier, biology major from Clayton County.
