Student Ambassadors

 

OUR MISSION

We believe that as students, we have a special relationship with the University that represents

a lifetime commitment in the fulfillment of our dreams and aspirations. As students, we are the focus of her goals and objectives. As alumni, we represent of her mission and the embodiment of her spirit in the world. What she is, we are; what she becomes, we become.

Because we are the emerging essence of our institution, we will strive to enhance this special relationship between students, alumni, and others so that the heritage of our Alma Mater will always be part of our lives--for the present as we follow our dreams, and after graduation as we make them come true.

What is an Ambassador?

As Student Ambassadors, our purpose is to serve as the official host of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington during special events. We are an ENTHUSIASTIC group that promotes the "UNCW" way to students Past, Present, and Future. We are an elite group of students representing the best of the very best. Our primary duties and services include working with Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo, the Alumni Association, UNCW Advancement, UNCW Admissions, the community, and prospective and current students; ultimately, volunteering our time and energy to promoting and serving the University.
