Honors Peer Ambassador Program
What are Honors Peer Ambassadors?
Honors Peer Ambassadors help promote the Honors College to both prospective and current Honors Students. Peer Ambassadors may be asked to attend UAA recruitment events, speak at Honors GER courses, or promote the Honors College through other means. Additionally, they also help plan social activities for the Honors College, to help foster a sense of community and belonging among UAA Honors students.
There is no deadline to sign up! Even students that sign up in the middle of the semester can still get a lot out of the Honors Peer Ambassador Program.
