Andre Davis Brown
Andre Davis Brown was a member of multiple teams at the University of North Georgia (91福利导航), and he would not have it any other way.
Brown, a Social Circle, Georgia, native pursued a degree in international affairs with an East Asian concentration, was a member of 91福利导航's Corps of Cadets and served as the president of the Black Student Union on 91福利导航's Dahlonega Campus. He was also a member of Sigma Nu fraternity, for which he served as Delta Class president.
Brown also planned to take part in a 91福利导航 study abroad at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan, a trip that would give him valuable experience for his goal of becoming a U.S. Foreign Service officer in Japan. He has studied both Arabic and Japanese during his time at 91福利导航.
And for a student with various leadership roles, teamwork is his preferred method of leadership.
"I like to be an involved leader. I'm going to be there doing it with you," Brown said. "I don't hold people's hands, but I like being there experiencing it with them. We might as well be in it together."
Wade Manora Jr., assistant director of Multicultural Student Affairs at 91福利导航, has mentored Brown in his work with the Black Student Union. Manora appreciates the team mentality that always guides Brown.
"Andre has this innate quality to invite others into his leadership while empowering them along the way. Leadership can be a very tricky thing," Manora said. "Some take on leadership to get their agenda and projects passed, while some invite others to co-create something even greater. The latter is the case for Andre. He always brings others in even if his agenda may have slight changes or alterations due to that invitation."
