91ÖÆƬ³§

91ÖÆƬ³§ has selected 21 students to serve as 91ÖÆƬ³§ Ambassadors. These students will join 34 returning ambassadors to represent the student body at official university events during the 2019-2020 academic year.

“The success of many endeavors at 91ÖÆƬ³§ is due, in large part, to our collaborations with alumni, donors and community leaders,” said Shannon Figueroa, director of alumni affairs.  “The Ambassadors Program connects some of our most accomplished students with these constituents, strengthening vital relationships, highlighting 91ÖÆƬ³§’s accomplishments and increasing opportunities for all students of the university.”

91ÖÆƬ³§ Ambassadors are a select group of students who serve the university by getting involved on campus, demonstrating school pride, building goodwill among alumni and community supporters at various public functions and representing the student body to visiting dignitaries.

“91ÖÆƬ³§ Ambassadors not only maintain high academic performance, but also are very involved on campus and are well informed about the university and what it has to offer students, alumni and the community,” Figueroa said.

To serve as an ambassador, an applicant must be a registered full-time student, be classified as a sophomore or junior in the fall semester and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.  Applicants must also submit a letter of interest, resume, faculty or staff recommendation and have approval from their college dean.
