Ambassadors

Our First Gen Ambassador Student Group is a small cohort of dedicated students who want to expand their knowledge, hone networking skills, and show up for themselves and others. Ambassadors learn leadership, get one-on-one mentoring, represent their student group across campus, and contribute to their community. The program is coordinated with MC Pathways Advising to offer additional mentoring and support at all stages of your academic journey.
