Hi everyone!  It’s time for Hometown Heroes campaign again!

Hometown Heroes is the only Ambassador program open for all students to participate in. Hometown Heroes are current SCAD students who would like to visit their former high schools and colleges when they go home during breaks to share their SCAD experience. Participating students receive training and are given information packets to share with their former schools, as well as an exclusive SCAD gift upon completion of the visit.

Students from Soumitra Goswami's Hometown Hero visit to Delhi Public School North in Bangalore, India give a shout out to SCAD.

So far we’ve received 22 official reports from Hometown Heroes through our online report located at http://bit.ly/SAVHHReport, but I’ve heard a lot more of you talking about your visits on Facebook and in emails. We’re excited to hear how much fun you’re having visiting your former schools!

Here are just a few quotes from Hometown Heroes who recently visited schools:

“My visit went well but, it was shorter than I had hoped because of weather conditions. The students were very receptive and glad to see someone they knew this year instead of a random representative. The younger students were very interested in Challenges and Rising Star programs.”- Taylor Hester, on her visit to Florence High School, Florence, AL

“It was so much fun. They were so ambitious, and eager to learn more about SCAD. They asked a plethora of questions, I answered most of them when I had time, but it was helpful to have the factual sheet to go by when I got lost. I loved being a guide for the young leaders of the next generation that became inspired. It made me want to help them as much as I could. It was simply empowering.”- Malikah Cobb on her visit to Ridgeview HS, Columbia, SC

“It was an entertaining, and informational session, that seemed to make an impact on the students. I say it was very successful, and very enjoyable for me as a representative. “-Candace Zutten, on her visit to North Fort Myers High School, Fort Myers, FL

“Overall, I think my visit went over very well. The students were very receptive of my work and asked many questions about it as well as about SCAD. The art teachers, Judy Krueger and Miranda Zahn, were very appreciative of a college student and alumnus coming to thier classes and promoting an art school. Being a small high school, art schools rarely come and give presentations. “- Chandler Ellison on her visit to Johnsburg HS, Johnsburg, IL

Thank you Heroes, and keep the reports comming!

It’s not too late to sign up to participate in the SCAD admission Hometown Heroes program. We’ve set a goal to register 200 students for this year’s campaign, and we are three quarters of the way there. We really need your help to reach our goal.

What are Hometown Heroes?
Hometown Heroes are current SCAD students who would like to visit their former high schools and colleges during breaks to share with teachers and prospective students what they have accomplished at SCAD. We know that a lot of students do this on their own, but we want to provide support for your visit. Participating students receive training and are given information to share with their former schools.

What’s in it for me?
To show our appreciation for your efforts, registered Hometown Heroes are invited to a Thank You Pizza Party January, 6th in the Student Center. For visiting a school and returning an on-line or printed report of your visit, you will receive an insulated SCAD Hometown Hero cup.

How do I register?
We are holding brief information sessions Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Nov.14-16  in the Welcome Center at Poetter Hall from 2:15-3 p.m. Students will get training, register and pick up their materials at these meetings. If these times do not fit your schedule, you may contact hometownheroes@scad.edu to set up another time to meet.

We have only two more info sessions and one more info booth left to register for Hometown Heroes. Don’t miss them if are interested in becoming a Hometown Hero.
When you register, you will get an invitation to the Hometown Hero Thank-You Pizza Party in January. Students who complete a visit will get the SCAD insulated cup pictured below.
