Looking to Get Involved? THIS is a Great Way!


It’s that time of year again, where students begin to fill the hallways and sidewalks of campus navigating their new class schedules and meeting new friends. With all of the excitement and buzz, a lot of students are looking for ways to get involved at UMSL and within the community. We have JUST the opportunity for you!

The UMSL Ambassador program is an award-winning volunteer organization at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. Ambassadors are current students who want to represent the university, gain professional and leadership skills, and interact with community and university leaders. Ambassadors have the opportunity to meet students, staff and faculty from all over campus as well as prominent community leaders and alumi.

Ambassadors volunteer for three events during the semester as well as two fall and three spring commencement ceremonies (unless it’s their own graduation weekend). Monthly meetings are held with workshops for professional development, such as resume building, interview skills and networking.

Any student - from incoming freshmen to graduate level - who meets the minimum requirements is encouraged to apply by September 7, 2018 at 3 p.m.

The program gives students the opportunity to learn about the organization and the community, and to gain valuable skills which can be used throughout the remainder of their careers.
