麻豆短视频传媒 student making an impact at the state capitol
One 麻豆短视频传媒 student is making an impact during the General Assembly 2022 regular session.
Savion Briggs, a sophomore political science major from Louisville, is doing big things at the College on the Hill. Briggs is an intern for the Legislative Research Committee (LRC) and served under State Representative George Brown Jr. during the regular session.
鈥淪o far the experience has been amazing,鈥� Briggs said.
Briggs said his future plans include working for a Fortune 500 company鈥檚 diversity and inclusion team while running his own social justice foundation. Soon after that, Briggs would like to put his LRC experience to work and run for political office.
Briggs is also a part of the Wells Fargo Go Far diversity mentorship. Briggs said the mentorship program is curriculum-based and targets diverse sophomore students currently attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). The program focuses on career development, exposure to senior leadership and provides a direct connection to Wells Fargo events and opportunities.
While at Kentucky State, Briggs has wasted no time getting involved. He has served as the freshman and sophomore class president; as a member of the NAACP; as a Kentucky State University student ambassador; the Collegiate 100 vice president; the Breaking The Cycle treasurer; the W.O.K.E. Task Force founding representative; accepted into the Thurgood Marshall College Fund 2021 Leadership Institute; a Pre-College Academy counselor; the NAACP Kentucky regent vice president; and earned a spot on the dean鈥檚 list.
鈥溌槎苟淌悠荡� stood out (as a prospective school) because of its rich history,鈥� Briggs said. 鈥淚 also had heard a lot of positive things about Kentucky State growing up and found it to be the most accessible school for my educational path.鈥�
One of his best memories at Kentucky State is having a great opportunity to mentor incoming freshmen through Pre-College Academy and showing them what it looks like to be a student and excel.
鈥淎lways put your academics first,鈥� Briggs said. 鈥淓verything else can wait. If you master time management, you鈥檝e mastered college and life.鈥�
