MOLINE, ILLINOIS - WQPT, Quad Cities PBS introduces their 2010 WQPT/PBS Ambassadors, an elite volunteer corps made up of college students.
The WQPT/PBS Ambassador program is in its sixth year and provides an opportunity for college students to represent their local public television station at a variety of events throughout eastern Iowa and western Illinois. "Ambassadors are a highly trained extension of our volunteer team," said WQPT Special Projects Coordinator, Bea Brasel. This year the WQPT/PBS Ambassadors are:
- Michele Moreno from Black Hawk College
- Brandie DeClerck from Black Hawk College
- Shanen Norlin from the University of Iowa
- Irene Cruz from Black Hawk College
- C.J. Bates from Black Hawk College
- Joan Frank from Western Illinois University
- Kelly Libberton from Western Illinois University
- Daniel Brasel from Illinois College
- Koko Nicoue - Black Hawk College
"Our Ambassadors traditionally return throughout their college years because the experience has been fulfilling and often come back as volunteers because they believe in the mission of public television," said Ms. Brasel.
WQPT is the public media service of Western Illinois University - Quad Cities.
