Transfer Student Ambassador Program

Our ambassador program is a great opportunity for students to connect with fellow transfer students and gain a better understanding of the campus and local community. Peer mentors help ease the transition into the Cowboy Family through meaningful support by sharing their personal experiences and leading by example.
