Freshman Forum

Ask TROY

Dear Counselors and Future Leaders,

  

Here at TROY University, we strongly believe in training young leaders now in order to prepare them for the future. TROY University's Freshman Forum is proud to announce its annual Leadership Conference for October 13, 2011. TROY University's Freshman Forum would like to extend a warm invitation to you and your top student leaders to take part in this conference in order to develop and expand upon their leadership skills. We would love for you and your senior high student leaders to attend this exciting and beneficial conference.

  

Freshman Forum assumes many leadership roles on TROY'S campus and stresses the importance of getting involved and making a difference. Freshman Forum commits to excellence in leadership through service, enthusiasm and Trojan Pride! We believe that when students come together and share ideas and ambitions, the possibilities are endless. The goal of this conference is to enhance the leadership abilities of high school students.

  

The registration fee is $35.00 for a student and $20.00 for a chaperone. This fee includes a conference T-Shirt, a continental breakfast, and lunch. The registration deadline is October 1, 2011. Individuals who register late will be charged an additional $10.00 late fee. The last day for late registration will be October 7, 2011.

  

The conference will offer workshops on leadership, resume building techniques, as well as other fun games and exercises. Thursday morning will begin with check-in, proceed with interactive group sessions, and a chartered lunch will be provided. After encouraging words from our speakers we will have a special leadership presentation showcasing some of the most outstanding leaders on the TROY campus. We have effective leaders here at TROY University and look forward to participating in educating in the future leaders of Alabama.

The 2011 keynote speaker is Lt. Governor Kay Ivey, of Alabama. Miss Alabama Courtney Porter, is also scheduled to speak.

The opportunities at TROY are endless, and are great to say the least. Troy is a growing University and truly left a mark in me after the first visit.

Hometown: Smiths Station, AL

  

Major: Elementary Education

  

Classification: Sophomore

  

Why I came to Troy:  I love the fact that Troy has a "big school" feel but a "small school" atmosphere.  Although I visited numerous other colleges, no other university felt as right for me as Troy.  I knew upon my arrival that Troy had so much to offer.

Career Ambition: After receiving my Bachelor's degree, I hope to also obtain both a Master's degree and a Doctorate degree in Education.  My ultimate career goal is to teach in areas across the United States, as well as in foreign countries, that lack the quality of education that I have been so blessed to receive.

  

Words of Encouragement to fellow Trojans:  Treasure every day and each experience, because your time at Troy will fly by.  Make the most of every opportunity you are given, and use your abilities to better this incredible university.
