The Ambassador Mission:
The CAHNRS Student Ambassadors is a student leadership organization that encourages students to pursue higher education and serves as a liaison between the college and the greater community.
- Encourage higher education and promote WSU and CAHNRS to high school students
- Increase visibility, awareness, and support of the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences
- Participate in CAHNRS and WSU functions and welcome prospective students who visit the campus
- Educate the public about opportunities and careers in agriculture, family and consumer sciences, design sciences, natural resource sciences, and related disciplines
- Network with students and faculty in CAHNRS. Experience teamwork at its finest and develop valuable relationships
Speak With an Ambassador:
Whether you are a prospective student, current student, curious parent, or high school adviser, one of our Ambassadors can answer your questions. To this end, the Ambassadors strive to maintain a diverse membership that represents all areas of CAHNRS and to continuously expand their knowledge about WSU and higher education in general.
To get in touch with an Ambassador, simply send an e-mail to the facilitator describing the topic of your inquiries or interests. He or she will find and connect you with an Ambassador that is knowledgeable in that area. Learn about the 2017-2018 CAHNRS Ambassadors.
