CAS Ambassadors

We are calling all undergraduates from the Â鶹´«Ã½ College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) to apply for the inaugural year of the ambassador program.

SLU CAS Ambassadors are undergraduate students who represent the college, work with the Office of the Dean, assist with college and university events, help shape college initiatives and plan community service projects. The ambassador program highlights the vibrant student body in the College of Arts and Sciences, facilitates belonging within the college, and showcases individuals who embody the spirit of higher purpose and greater good.

This first class of CAS Ambassadors will be recognized as the founders of CAS Ambassadors and receive special recognition. Founders will lay the groundwork for the organization and assist in creating by-laws, mission statements, and overall annual objectives and programming. Founder ambassadors will begin in the Spring 2025 semester and will be expected to commit to the program for the entire 2025-2026 academic year.
