The Diversity Ambassadors program gives students from various backgrounds an opportunity to engage in active learning around diversity, equity and inclusion, assist in the planning of cultural heritage months, and be an advocate for the Office of Diversity Student Programs.

Benefits of being an ambassador include:

• Community engagement (speaking with high school and middle school students from underprivileged backgrounds)
• A focus on personal and professional development
• Various leadership opportunities on and off campus
