Who We Are

Ambassadors are dynamic student leaders committed to promoting the Freshman Studies or Multi-Disciplinary Studies programs, as well as the University, to prospective students and their families, current students, alumni, and the surrounding communities.

Become a dynamic student leader and help us promote our programs

Ambassadors create a positive first and lasting impression, thus supporting the reputation of the program and university.
