GODFREY – At Lewis and Clark Community College, student ambassadors do more than give tours and assist with campus events — they represent the heart of the student body. The current ambassadors, Emma McRae, Josiah Schuette, and Sebbi Ehlers, are using their time at L&C to shape their futures, support others, and lead by example. These three students come from different backgrounds and are pursuing different career paths, but they all found a home and a voice through the student ambassador program. "Our current ambassadors have set the standard extremely high for future applicants," L&C Recruiter and coordinator of the student ambassador program, Daniel Nosce said. "They are always on time, grasp concepts quickly, and are extremely hardworking and organized." Nosce said each ambassador embodies what it means to be a Trailblazer and looks forward to their lasting impact on future students. The program typically selects three to four ambassadors per year to

August 6th holds a remarkable place in history, marked by events that have shaped the global landscape across politics, science, culture, and more. Arguably the most profound and impactful event on this day took place in 1945 during the final stages of World War II. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the first atomic bomb used in warfare on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The bomb, nicknamed “Little Boy,” caused unprecedented destruction and loss of life, instantly killing an estimated 70,000 people with tens of thousands more succumbing to injuries and radiation exposure in the following years. This event marked the dawn of the atomic age and had a profound influence on international relations, military strategy, and the global quest for nuclear disarmament.

Moving backward in time, on August
