Undergrad students needed to serve as Northern Ambassadors

After 2 ½ years of primarily virtual recruitment activities, Admissions is rebuilding its Northern Ambassador program. They are looking for undergraduate students who embody the Huskie experience to serve as campus tour guides, conduct calling campaigns and serve on student panels for recruitment activities. Northern Ambassadors need to have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours.

 

Please share this with students in your area who you feel would represent your program and the college well. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
