ARHU AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

About the Program

The ARHU Ambassador Program allows new and prospective students to benefit from the knowledge and experiences of someone who has “been there.” During recruitment and ARHU events, our ambassadors share the narrative of their experiences in ARHU and at UMD to prospective students and families, current students and prospective employers. By connecting with new students and providing a voice for current ARHU students, ambassadors understand the contributions that humanists, artists and creators make in the world, which allows them to contextualize and articulate their own experiences in ARHU and at UMD.

Become an ARHU Ambassador

ARHU ambassadors will take part in a 1 credit course where they’ll learn more about the college and prepare to serve as an ambassador at a variety of events, including open houses, admitted student visits and Maryland Day. Outside of the weekly class, ambassadors participate in at least three events per semester. Serving as an ambassador means attending events, talking to prospective students and their parents/families, answering questions about your own experiences in ARHU and generally helping to share the student perspective on life at UMD—our students are always the best sources of connection for prospective students.

Current ARHU majors interested in becoming an ambassador are encouraged to reach out to Assistant Director Jessica Krenek at jkrenek@umd.edu for more information about the program.
