President's Ambassador

New for fall 2021-22

Students named to inaugural President’s Ambassador Program

Starting in the 2021-22 academic year, Bluffton University will launch the President’s Ambassador Program with a group of high-achieving students who will assist in recruiting prospective students, welcoming and greeting campus guests, and engaging alumni and donors.

Lead Ambassadors are upcoming seniors who were selected based on experience, participation and leadership in the previous student ambassador program.

The goal of the new program is to help students become extraordinary communicators and networkers. They will receive consistent leadership and professional development training. Where available, President's Ambassadors will have the opportunity to connect with local leaders and be trained on important topics such as etiquette, conversation skills, and networking and interview skills. They’ll be partnered with a faculty/staff mentor and will also represent Bluffton University alongside President Jane Wood at external events.

“I am looking forward to closely working with all of these exceptional students next year,” said Wood. “Each of them truly embodies what it means to be a Bluffton University student, and I know they will be excellent representatives for us.”

The 2021-22 Lead Ambassadors are:
