Who are the SCOEHS Student Ambassadors?

The Spencer College of Education and Human Sciences Student Ambassadors are a select group of high-achieving, engaged students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership, and a strong desire to serve others while promoting the University of North Alabama. Ambassadors act as representatives of the College, mentors to students, and advisors to the Dean, helping to strengthen community, spirit, and interest in SCOEHS programs.

 

What is the role of a Student Ambassador?

Student Ambassadors support a wide range of outreach, recruitment, and engagement efforts for the College, including:
