22 Students Serve as Chancellor's Ambassadors for 2014-15
JONESBORO – Twenty-two outstanding students are Chancellor's Ambassadors this year at Arkansas State University, serving as campus hosts to academic, business, political and social leaders who participate in university functions and assisting with student recruitment.
The ambassadors are appointed by Chancellor Tim Hudson upon recommendation of the Chancellor’s Ambassadors Selection Committee, and represent a cross-section of the student body. Qualifications to be considered are a 3.0 grade point average, full-time course load, and freedom from disciplinary action.
“Providing opportunities to interact with current academic and business leaders enhances the leadership skills and world view of some our most promising students,” Chancellor Tim Hudson said. “The ambassadors represent the best and brightest at Arkansas State, and I am excited to have them representing my office at our events.”
The Chancellor’s Ambassadors program also advances the co-curricular development of outstanding university students by increasing their interaction with the university's special guests and future students, and further developing their interpersonal and social skills, according to Dr. Tammy Fowler, director of recruitment. Brooke Estes in the Office of Recruitment is the program coordinator.
Once chosen, a student may remain an ambassador throughout his or her academic career as long as grade point and participation requirements are met.
