We have three different ways that you can be involved:

• Overnight Ambassadors: Students who host prospective students overnight in the dorms throughout the week and for larger events.
• Floor Leaders: Our “go-to” students during events who help coordinate overnight visits and help recruit their fellow floormates to host.
