Students select K-State’s 2013 Ambassadors Johnson, Parsons, Kan., is a junior majoring in human resource management and marketing. He said there isn’t a thing in this world that excites him more than connecting with future K-State students and alumni of the university. He credits the incredible work that Student Ambassadors have done in the past and is excited to add to that legacy and to give back to K-State in a capacity that ties to his passion for all that is purple. Johnson said he enjoys singing and playing guitar, cheering on the ’Cats at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, and completing his K-State bucket list, which includes going in every room of every building on campus before graduation.
Priddle, Manhattan, Kan., is a junior majoring in family studies and human services. She said she is very excited about her new position as Student Ambassador and looks forward to working with the Alumni Association to meet with both alumni and prospective students. She said K-State is important to her because of how it became the family, the experience and the next step in her life, bringing about the biggest changes, all for the better. She said she enjoys singing, writing, water sports and, most importantly, the wonderful people at K-State. Congratulations to Johnson and Priddle. They will do awesome things for Kansas State University this year. David Mayes ‘96, K-State Alumni Association
By Annika Schneider, SAB secretary This was a fantastic year for Student Alumni Board and the selection of the 2013 K-State Student Ambassadors. Half of the six finalists were members of the SAB ranks: Heidi Hurtig, Brett Seidl and Tyler Johnson represented SAB as Student Ambassador finalists. Other finalists were Jessica Conwell, Jordan Priddle and Ross Jensby. As excellent as each finalist would have been for K-State, Johnson and Priddle were announced as the 2013 Student Ambassadors in front of a full Homecoming crowd Oct. 27. Johnson already was a member of SAB, but members were excited to welcome Priddle wholeheartedly to the organization.
