I served alongside Sam in multiple roles throughout our student involvement at the University of North Georgia. Whether it be student government, an outside internship, or his own personal studies, Sam always devotes 100%. He is a dedicated, hard-working individual that is always a joy to work with. Sam was always a valuable member to any team goal. Looking forward to seeing him continue to be successful!
