College Ambassadors
Connect with students who know UB firsthand
Starting college is easier when you can talk to students who have already found their place on campus. College Ambassadors in the College of Arts and Sciences help prospective and current students learn more about life at UB, academic opportunities and how to get involved across the university community.
Our College Ambassadors are undergraduate student leaders nominated by faculty and staff for their academic achievement, leadership and campus involvement. They represent the College at events throughout the year and help students and families feel more connected from the very beginning.
Through the program, ambassadors also participate in leadership development and networking opportunities with faculty, staff and alumni.

What advice do you have for future UB students?
Take advantage of all the opportunities available at UB. College is about much more than just attending classes. It's a chance to join clubs, attend events, volunteer, study abroad, develop professional skills, and build meaningful relationships. While some of these opportunities may feel intimidating at first, stepping outside your comfort zone can help shape both your personal and professional growth.

What advice do you have for future UB students?
My advice for future UB students is to try as many new things as possible in your first year. There are tons of clubs and activities, and even though you probably won't enjoy everything you try, there is definitely something that you will fall in love with! You'll also meet a ton of awesome people and make some great friends along the way! Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and go explore everything that UB has to offer!

What advice do you have for future UB students?
Get involved in as many different things as possible. UB provides the environment for such an enriching experience with opportunities to meet friends, find a sense of community and develop yourself academically, personally and professionally. Future students should keep their eye out for any opportunity they might be interested in because it all starts with getting involved.
