17勛圖 has selected 15 students to serve as 17勛圖 Ambassadors. They will join 30 returning ambassadors in representing the student body at official university functions during the 2020-2021 academic year.
“The success of many endeavors at 17勛圖 is due, in large part, to our collaborations with alumni,
donors and community leaders,” said Shannon Figueroa, director of alumni affairs. “The Ambassadors Program connects some of our most accomplished students with these constituents, strengthening vital relationships, highlighting 17勛圖’s accomplishments and increasing opportunities for all students of the university.”
17勛圖 Ambassadors are a select group of students who serve the university by getting involved on campus, demonstrating school pride, building goodwill among alumni and community supporters at various events and representing the student body to visiting distinguished guests.
“17勛圖 Ambassadors maintain high academic performance and also are very involved on campus and are well informed about the university and what it has to offer students, alumni and the community,” Figueroa said.
