Program History
The Student Ambassador program was established, with support for Dean Cady Short-Thompson, in 2011. Student Ambassadors were then charged with being the "face" of the College through assistance with prospective student tours, all-day coverage of the welcome desk, and support for the campus-wide events. Over the past several years, the program has evolved to include Student Ambassadors serving in a variety of additional leadership capacities and increasing their support to the college by quadrupling their event hours each semester.
Student Ambassadors remain committed to service to the college and being the face of our UC Blue Ash student community.
