Health Sciences Ambassador Program. Outstanding undergraduate students in the School of Health Sciences are selected each year to serve as official representatives of the School's student body at recruiting and alumni activities on and off campus. The outstanding student leaders who participate in the Ambassadors program represent each of the majors and concentrations offered by the School of Health Sciences. They are truly the "cream of the crop," as evinced by the post-baccalaureate success that Ambassadors from previous years' programs enjoy. The Ambassadors participate in a training program designed to enable them to answer questions about any of the majors offered in Health Sciences, and how to represent the School in the most professional manner at any of the various functions in which they are called to serve. You can learn more about them at the Ambassadors' page.
