Eagle Ambassador CandidateGroup Ranking
RyanThis is Ryan’s second year at UNT. He is treasurer of his fraternity and a member of the Young Conservatives of Texas. He is an avid Mean Green sports fan with a 3.25 GPA. He works at Good Eats 10 hours a week and also baby-sits his little sister in Krum. He thinks that being an Eagle Ambassador will give him more opportunities to meet people and network for his future.
TameshaTamesha is a freshman who loves UNT and wants to be involved in everything that she possibly can when it comes to performing and working behind the scenes for RTVF. Currently she is a member of Texas Filmmakers Cooperative, North Texas Television, Social Culture of Arts and Talents, and Basic Rhythm Dance Company. She lives in and spends most of her time on campus so figures she may as well work on campus. She knows that she needs to work on her grades and not spend so much time making movies. Her current GPA is a 2.8.
MacKenzieMacKenzie is a senior Music Education major at UNT. She is from the area and is heavily involved with College Life Women’s Ministries. She is creative, crafty and maintains a 3.5 GPA. It takes her a while to warm up to strangers but is friendly once she does. She has a passion for UNT history and knows lots of little known facts about the campus. MacKenzie will begin student teaching and graduate in the spring but promises to take graduate classes over the summer to fulfill her 1 year commitment to the Eagle Ambassador program if selected.
JustinJustin is a sophomore UNT football player and a third generation North Texan. He knew that he wanted to play football for UNT after listening to his grandfather’s glory days stories as a child. He needs a job for extra spending money but doesn’t want a big commitment. He has a lot of free time during the spring but during fall he travels a lot for football. He will continue playing football until he graduates but feels that being an Eagle Ambassador would be another opportunity to get involved. Football is the only activity or organization that Justin currently belongs to. The Athletic Director strongly recommends him.
CarmelaCarmela is Junior at studying communication. She thinks that this job is the perfect step for her career. A serious student with a 4.0 GPA, Carmela is involved in four different honor societies and an officer in the Honors Program. Carmela also plays intramural soccer. She would love to have this job and is determined to do anything to get it.
