and stay connected.
Student Ambassadors can be connected to volunteer leadership roles across campus including,
serving as peer mentors in our Opening Doors Learning Community, Wellness Center,
Men’s Resource Center, Office of Career Development and Experiential Learning, College
Discovery, and more!

What's in it for me?
Good question! Student Ambassadors may be eligible for Work Study position in return
for their service to the campus! Student Ambassadors meet a large group of students,
faculty, and staff from all over campus; our program is supported by faculty, ASAP
staff, Student Life staff, Counseling & Health Services, the KCC Chief of Staff, and
many more! Beyond networking, Student Ambassadors, through training and volunteer
service, develop skill that support their academic and professional goals (i.e. leadership,
public speaking, confidence, critical thinking, teamwork, responsibility, and more!!).
Student Ambassadors also get some great swag, including bags, shirts, jackets, and
personalized name tags. MOST importantly, Student Ambassadors get a chance to help
their fellow students, and play a big role in creating a culture of support and engagement
on campus.
