91ÖÆƬ³§

91ÖÆƬ³§ has selected 15 students to serve as 91ÖÆƬ³§ Ambassadors. They will join 30 returning ambassadors in representing the student body at official university functions during the 2020-2021 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 events and representing the student body to visiting distinguished guests.

“91ÖÆƬ³§ Ambassadors maintain high academic performance and 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 undergraduate student, have completed at least one semester at 91ÖÆƬ³§, have at least three full semesters left at 91ÖÆƬ³§ after the application deadline 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.
