Represent the College. Inspire Your Peers. 

Ambassadors are passionate, engaged students who represent KGMCA at recruitment events, tours, orientations, and public programs. They offer peer-to-peer insight, help welcome new students, and play a vital role in outreach and engagement. 

Lead Within Your Discipline 

In addition to the college-wide program, each school may appoint student representatives who support recruitment, student engagement, and academic events within their departments. 

Work Where You Learn
