Student Life

Get involved with one of the many student organizations on campus. If we don't have a particular club that fits your interest, contact the Office of Student Support & Development to learn how to start a new one!

Student Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors are representatives for the Office of Student Affairs. They provide campus tours, participate in recruitment and retention efforts, assist in off campus visits, staff inbound and outbound phone calls, answer emails, participate in orientation and provide general mentoring and peer guidance to prospective students. By being a part of the Student Ambassador program you have the opportunity to enhance your leadership, networking and communication skills while developing confidence and providing knowledge and service to others. Students who are chosen to be Student Ambassadors also earn scholarship money.
