As an ambassador, select students serve the Office of the President by fostering good relations between the University’s student body and its alumni, faculty, staff and donors. Their purpose is to represent and promote UT at various University events.

“We only accept the finest students on campus,” said Michele Ross, UT events coordinator and Presidential Ambassador adviser. “A minimum 3.0 GPA is required to be eligible, and students must show leadership qualities by being active on campus.”

Students selected for this honorary organization have the opportunity to interact with distinguished business, religious, government and educational leaders by attending and assisting with UT exclusive events.

“These students gain access to invitation-only events where many University donors and leaders are in attendance,” Ross said. “This includes access to the presidential suite at UT football games, annual donor recognition events, anniversary events, College of Medicine events.”

To obtain an application or gain more information about the organization, visit facebook.com/utoledopresidentialambassadors.

“We will select approximately 20 to 25 applicants to take the place of current graduating members,” Ross said.

Applications must be printed out and submitted to Ross at the Office of Special Events in the Peterson House by Friday, Feb. 13, at 5 p.m.

For more information about the application process, contact Daniel Arendt, Presidential Ambassador vice president of membership, at daniel.arendt@rockets.utoledo.edu.
