Lincoln High Graduate Named LTC State Ambassador

Lakeshore Technical College has named its Wisconsin Technical College System Ambassador for the 2022-2023 academic year.

The responsibilities of the role are to promote Lakeshore on campus, in the community, among legislators as well as at Wisconsin Technical College System events focusing on student recruitment.

Mackenzie Johnson, a 2021 graduate of Manitowoc Lincoln High School and current legal studies/paralegal program student at LTC, has been selected for the role. As part of the assignment, she will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

Johnson said in a Monday press release that many of her peers were leaving the Manitowoc area after high school to pursue an education, but that she found it most valuable to pursue her own path and become a leader at LTC.

She noted, “When all my friends were planning on going away to college, I wanted to follow them so badly, but I knew I needed to forge my own path.”

The newly-named ambassador also plans to encourage other students to do the same, saying, “LTC has helped me realize that it is okay to be different and it is okay to choose your own path, even if those around you are all choosing a different path…”

Each of the Wisconsin Technical College System’s 16 technical colleges chooses one student annually based on outstanding student achievement, community involvement, leadership as well as a commitment to higher education.
