CLEVELAND, WI — Lakeshore College has selected Stephanie Mireles as its 2025–26 Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Student Ambassador, a premier student leadership role that includes public representation on campus, across the community, with legislators, and at statewide WTCS events. The appointment includes a $1,250 scholarship awarded annually to the student chosen for this highly competitive honor.

Mireles is a digital marketing student who serves as president of Lakeshore’s Student Leadership Board and participates in TRIO Support Services, which supports first-generation, lower-income, and disabled students. She also works in the college’s StudentSHARE office, helping classmates access free food, clothing, and personal care items—work that underscores the service-oriented spirit she’ll bring to the ambassador role.

“We are incredibly proud of Stephanie for being selected as Lakeshore’s 2025–26 Student Ambassador,” said Lakeshore College President Dr. Paul Carlsen. “This honor recognizes not only her leadership and dedication to learning, but also the vital role our students play in representing Lakeshore’s mission on campus, in the community, and across Wisconsin.”
