Who Are We?

The Presidential Student Ambassador Program offers students a unique opportunity learn about and explore the individual and group contributions of the Office of the President and senior leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University. Ambassadors engage in campus and community activities that increase their awareness and understanding of the role of university leaders while applying the skills that they are developing as transformative student leaders. This program facilitates valuable opportunities to connect with fellow students, unit leaders, and others to foster collaborative relationships that contribute to the university's strategic vision outlined in the Quest 2028: One VCU Together We Transform initiatives.

Three Pillars of the Presidential Student Ambassadors

Enrich the Ambassadors' understanding of the Office of the President and Virginia Commonwealth University administration.

Provide opportunities for student participation in community service and learning.

Foster the Ambassadors' professional development through workshops and seminars.
