CVEC Member to be Student Ambassador
TALLADEGA, Ala. - What do former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Walt Disney
and Eastaboga resident Malissa Pettis have in common? They have all been involved
in the People to People Student Ambassador program.
Eisenhower, our nation's 34th president, founded People to People in 1956 because
he believed that young people and universal cooperation were the keys to global
understanding. Disney created his It's a Small World attraction after he participated
in a People to People White House conference. And Pettis will travel abroad
this summer as an elite People to People student ambassador.
The information included with this press release will help explain the People
to People program, Malissa and how students are chosen. You may contact the
