A
RESOLUTION
Commending
Tony Smith; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
when Tony Smith moved to Atlanta after having served six years in the Navy, he
heard about Atlanta Metropolitan College (AMC) on a local radio station, and, on
further investigation, he decided that AMC was the perfect match for him,
offering affordability, a caring faculty, and a sense of community;
and
WHEREAS,
Tony quickly embraced AMC's motto, "Believe, Begin, Become," and he has excelled
academically in his chosen field of study, political science, maintaining a 3.79
grade point average. He intends to pursue a master's degree in international
studies and eventually obtain a doctorate in Political Science; and
WHEREAS,
Tony notes that AMC has been the vehicle which has allowed him to pursue his
passions, and he quickly immersed himself in campus life, becoming actively
involved in the Student Commission, AMC's student government association, as
well as serving as treasurer and chairing the judiciary committee, leading the
campus's Political Science Association, founding the Advocate Student
Association, and was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa, the premiere international
honor society for two-year colleges; and
WHEREAS,
Tony's sense of community, leadership, and volunteerism also extends to his
larger community. He has worked diligently in volunteer initiatives that
include feeding the hungry and homeless, HIV/AIDS and STD outreach, education,
and services, and he feels that giving back is not a choice, rather a
requirement; and
WHEREAS,
when asked to sum up his experiences at AMC, Tony states, "AMC has been a
catalyst in cultivating my potential."
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend
Tony Smith for his academic successes and for his proven leadership abilities
and express confidence that he will enjoy continued success in the
future.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Tony Smith.
