Meet the Involvement Ambassadors!

The Involvement Ambassadors are a group of student leaders who assist students in identifying meaningful engagement opportunities through individual consultations and group presentations/workshops. The Team also assists students and student organizations with the use of PhoenixCONNECT and shares information about events and activities occurring both on and off campus for students.
