Staley School Ambassadors
Recruit, promote, educate
Ambassadors recruit students to the Staley School of Leadership within their own spheres of influence, promote the School's mission and goals, and provide leadership education and development across campus and within the local community.
Our Student Ambassadors meet weekly to build community and share their passion for all things Staley School. They have fun, but take the work and learning seriously.
The group is comprised of K-State students enrolled in Staley School undergraduate academic programs. Members serve on one of five committees (Administrative, Connections, Education, Enrichment, Events) with the option to campaign for committee chair; elections take place each spring.
Applications
Applications open each fall semester. Fall 2024 applications are now closed.
