Student Ambassadors

Aquinas College Student Ambassadors work closely with Undergraduate Admissions, the Aquinas College Foundation, and the Office of the President, representing the college in a variety of capacities. They share their unique talents and dedication to the community with all those interested in Aquinas.
 
The AQ Student Ambassadors are known for their friendliness, enthusiasm, outstanding work ethic, and positive attitude. These select students conduct campus tours, host students overnight, participate in AQ Days, and attend receptions and donor-cultivated events throughout the year. For more information on the Student Ambassador program, please contact (616) 632-2851.
