Student Clubs and Organizations

Student Ambassadors: The student workers in the Office of Academic Advising and Student Services are Ambassadors. Ambassadors serve as representatives for the College of Health and Human Sciences and are responsible for supporting the College's retention and recruitment efforts. Ambassadors lend support by assisting students with online registration and prospective student visits; providing clerical support for the College's Academic Advising and Student Services Office; assisting with new student orientation programs; as well as representing the college at on-campus recruiting events. Ambassadors also support advising of prospective and current students about major selection and provide information regarding the majors/options within the college.
