 My name is Julie Drake and I'm the Executive Assistant to the Wisconsin Technical College System Board and President. Probably the best part of my job is I get to work on the Wisconsin Technical College System Student Ambassador Leadership Development Program. We provide training and then give them the opportunity to share their stories in front of their peers, in front of college leaders, and the Wisconsin Technical College System Board. Prior to coming to the Technical College System, I worked for 29 years for Special Olympics and I had the opportunity to work with individuals with intellectual disabilities from across the world. So coming to this job, I was a little hesitant. What was my passion going to be? And two months into my career here at WTCS, I had the opportunity to attend the first banquet. I got to observe and see these students come in and have this opportunity and it just gave me so much respect for them and I wanted to be a part of making that event so special for them. Anytime I touch a student's life and I can make them have a better day, that's what's important to me. Making the lives of others better.
