Kenneth Negy, Student Ambassador at the University of Central Florida
Kenneth Negy is SIS Student Ambassador at the University of Central Florida. Here is his experience in his own words:
I was deeply honored when I was chosen to succeed the previous ambassador at UCF, especially considering that I was asked to take over during my first semester of college. Coming from a Spanish-speaking family myself, it has been a privilege for me to be able to serve as a representative for Spain and for all Spanish-speakers in general.
Through the various activities I have done and plan to do over the next semester, my hope is to instill an interest in the students to travel abroad, specifically to Spain, and to help students develop their ability to speak the language. I hope to show Spanish movies, have various contests related to Spain, continue to hold Café Español sessions, and try to come up with new ideas in order to advance the SIS program at UCF.
I hope that by serving as ambassador, I will be able to advance my Spanish speaking abilities, develop invaluable leadership skills, and connect with my peers at the University of Central Florida through my love of Spain and the Spanish language.
