CLAS Ambassadors
Established in 2009, the Ambassadors of Liberal Arts and Sciences are a select group of students in the University of Florida’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who have demonstrated outstanding academic success and meaningful engagement with professional development and experiential learning.
Their objective is to support the career development of their fellow CLAS students and assist the academic mission of the College. They meet this objective by serving as peer coaches, enhancing awareness of CLAS career and academic services through presentations and strategic communication, working with faculty to develop new and better programs, initiatives, and experiential learning opportunities, and serving as hosts in a variety of College functions.
