Ambassadors

The purpose of the First Generation Ambassadors program is to maintain a smooth transition from high school to college. This program will partner with the Advising Department's First Generation Initiative. Students will have the opportunity to be paired with an advising coach and have one-on-one or group meetings with the program coordinator. In addition to this strategic support, this program promotes campus involvement and participation in community events. |
Our program goals are to increase student involvement through community service, provide student workshops that promote academic and personal success, and build a network of support for program participants.
