Engineering Ambassador Program
The NMSU College of Engineering Ambassador program provides undergraduate students with opportunities to gain leadership skills, deepen their knowledge and understanding of local, state, national, and global challenges, and expand personal and professional growth.
Engineering Ambassadors provide support for activities related to recruiting, retention, outreach, and most importantly, student success. Ambassadors provide campus tours to prospective students and the broader NMSU community, serve as representatives of the NMSU College of Engineering, engage in leadership discussions and relevant tours for and with industry and government agencies, and perform outreach duties at various campus and community events.
