Legends of Honors with Dr. David Snow--"A Long & Winding Road: Opportunity (and Adventure) in Public Service"

Honors College Thursday November 7, 2024

This semester, the Honors College is again pleased to host Zoom-based Legends of Honors sessions for alumni, friends and students of the Honors College. On Nov. 20 at 6 p.m., Honors alumnus Dr. David Snow will deliver a Legends of Honors Zoom presentation titled "A Long & Winding Road: Opportunity (and Adventure) in Public Service." To register, please click on the embedded link, or the QR code in the flier, and the Honors staff will send you the Zoom information and a timely reminder. All are welcome to participate.

Dr. Snow describes the session as follows: "The world is your oyster working in government service (local, state or national), international affairs, non-governmental organizations or even education. However, while availability may be high, public awareness is often low! This presentation explores career options and opens the aperture on 'what is possible.' My journey included a career as a naval officer, federal service, state service and working for the U.S. Embassy in Kenya … all while visiting over 50 countries!"

Dr. David Snow graduated in just over three years from Georgia College & State University and embarked on a successful career as a naval officer. During this time, he often taught at various universities and earned two master's degrees (MBA and MA in Military History). Upon leaving the service, he earned a doctorate (Ed.D.) and served as the director of Military Affairs for the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (2012-2022). While at USG, he was often recognized nationally as a leader serving this segment of the student population. In 2022, he was recruited away to fill a Department of State contract in Africa to help launch the National Defence University-Kenya.
