Honors College Ambassadors

Honors Ambassadors promote the ideals of empowered participation and exploration at NMSU, respect of diversity, leadership development, and Aggie pride. Honors Ambassadors embody the values of empowered participation and exploration at NMSU, fostering respect among students, developing leadership skills, and inspiring pride in the Honors College. We are seeking Honors Ambassadors to represent the Honors College as a public relations and outreach team dedicated to supporting Honors students and strengthening connections across campus and within our community.

Benefits:

The Ambassador program provides high-achieving students with valuable hands-on experiences that prepare them to become leaders on campus, in Las Cruces, and beyond. Throughout the year, Ambassadors engage in training focused on leadership, team development, and inclusion. They also gain practical experience in advocacy, public relations, event planning, networking, mentorship, recruiting, and other essential skills.
