School of Health Sciences Student Ambassador Program
The School of Health Sciences Student Ambassador Program offers students the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills while representing their academic programs and the College. As ambassadors, students serve as the face of the School of Health Sciences at admissions events, campus tours, and school functions, engaging with prospective and admitted students, parents, and the broader community.
Ambassadors share their experiences in majors such as Public Health, Exercise Science, and Health Services Administration and Management, providing valuable insights into the academic and campus life at the College. They also assist in answering inquiries, providing school tours, and participating in social media takeovers and other college-wide marketing initiatives, offering a behind-the-scenes look at student life.
