As an UMSL Ambassador, I have been given the opportunity to meet students outside of my major who I otherwise would not have gotten to know on campus. Also, I have enhanced my resume and refined my communication, interviewing and leadership skills with this organization during our monthly meetings.

It has been the best way to meet different people all across the UMSL campus. The program has taught me many skills from our monthly meetings, such as public speaking, navigating through difficult conversations, understanding and listening in a conversation, and so much more! I am extremely happy to be a Lead ambassador because it provides a great sense of university pride and community. The ambassador group is a great bunch, and I would highly recommend everyone to join!

I am a lead-in-training ambassador. The UMSL Ambassador program caught my interest during my second semester at UMSL when I started looking into joining an organization to get involved on campus. It provides a great opportunity to build leadership and communication skills. It also offers a chance to meet and speak with people at very important university events. The experience ambassadors gain helps broaden their horizon by learning new skills that will help them further their success in the future.
