Honors Ambassadors

Honors Ambassadors are responsible for sharing the honors experience with prospective students at information sessions, admitted student days and other admissions recruiting events.

Ambassadors must be at least in the second semester of their first year. Applications are made available at various times throughout the year, but interested students may also express their desire to become an ambassador to the honors program staff.
