Who are the Chancellor's Ambassadors

Selected through a formal nomination and application process, students who serve as Chancellor’s Ambassadors enjoy a series of activities that give them the opportunity to learn and practice networking, business etiquette, communication, leadership and community engagement, as they help communicate the mission and culture of the University. There is no cost to become an ambassador; in fact, CAs receive a stipend of $300 per semester for their service. The University covers all expenses involved in training, and ambassadors receive a stipend for each semester of service.
