Student Ambassador Program

amb

Our Student Ambassadors received training last week from Fort Belvoir and the instructors told us they were “blown away” with our students, and their great ideas about how to help new students to Edison. The Garrison Commander came to present each student with their training certificate and a military coin. All 63 students completed the training and are excited about the impact they will have on the Edison community.
