“Warhawk Ambassadors do not just represent the college.

In fact, many people recognize our ambassadors even if they do not know them personally. While it is fun, full of energy, and filled with real world experiences that students can carry with them long after graduation, it is also a respected role on campus. Ambassadors serve as the official hosts and hostesses of the college and are highly regarded,” added King.
