Germanna Student Leaders Attend 2010 VCCS Student Leadership Conference in Richmond

Germanna Community College again sent a team to this year's VCCS Student Leadership Conference:

• Brittany Curtis, S.G.A. President, is a Science major.
• Kim Harding, S.G.A. Vice-President, is a Liberal arts Major.
• Loren Catlett,Treasurer of S.G.A., is majoring in General Studies.
• Carla Craft, S.G.A. Secretary, is a Liberal Arts major.
• Amanda Dodson, S.G.A. Senator, is a General Studies major.
• Mark Mattozzi, S.G.A. Senator, is also V.P. of the College Republicans and a Science major.
• Morgen Jones, S.G.A. Senator, is a Science major.
• Eric Tate serves as a Work-Study student assisting in the Student Activities office and is a General Studies Major.
• Paige Riley is this year’s Commonwealth Legacy Scholar and a General Studies major. 

Advisors  who accompanied the team include Jimmy Cassesse, Student Activities Assistant and Tami Goodstein, Student Activities Coordinator along with Dean of Student Services, Pam Frederick.

 

The students report that a major highlight of the conference was a presentation from Wes Moore. Moore is a Rhodes Scholar and combat veteran of Afghanistan who worked as a special assistant to Condoleezza Rice. Our students received copies of his book, The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates. The students found his comments inspirational. They had the opportunity to have him sign his book after the session.

 

On Saturday, I enjoyed presenting a session entitled "It's NOT All About Me: Servant leadership in a Time of Uncertainty" for about 60 of the 450 attendees.

My congratulations to the team who represented Germanna and their colleague students very well.
