John “Bobby” Nice, III
"My name is John “Bobby” Nice, III, and I am a junior in the Honors Program at Georgia Gwinnett College, majoring in environmental science. At GGC, I have served as Treasurer of the Environmental Club. I am a member of the Environmental Club, American Chemical Society, Criminal Justice Club, and National Society of Leadership and Success. Through Boy Scouts, my Hornaday Conservation Project at the Dunwoody Nature Center and Eagle Project at the AWARE Center are among the activities that have led me to study environmental science. I aim to become a National Park Service Ranger, working to protect the environment and educate people about conservation. I enjoy camping, gaming, and playing with my dog in my spare time. I appreciate this opportunity to be awarded a GAEP Scholarship."
