April Ford of Peachtree City, a freshman at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, has been selected to participate in one of the most prestigious organizations on campus, the ABAC Ambassadors.

Ford, an animal science major, is the daughter of John and Dianne Ford.

Through a process involving application, letters of recommendation and interviews, college administrators choose students whom they believe to be motivated and who show leadership potential to serve as ambassadors.

The ambassadors assist the offices of public relations and admissions, representing and promoting the college at a variety of community and college events. They work to maintain positive relationships between students, faculty, alumni, and the community.

To continue in the organization, students must maintain at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale and commit at least 35 hours per semester to their service as ambassadors.
