Student Ambassador Program
Ambassadors promote goodwill among potential students, current students and professionals. COB Ambassadors act as representatives of the College of Business and encourage recruitment and retention of students to all undergraduate business majors.
COB Ambassadors represent the College by:
- providing GBB tours
- attending various events on and off campus on behalf of COB
- connecting with potential and new students
- upholding a professional image
- interacting with professionals visiting COB

- Gain a better understanding of UM and COB
- Meet and network with alumni, business leaders, campus community and future students
- Enhance communication and presentation skills
- Gain professional experience for your resume
- Each COB Ambassador will have a student profile posted on the COB webpage

Advice for New COB Students: "Take advantage of the networking opportunities offered within the COB. Always say yes to new things unless your gut is telling you absolutely no. It is a hard first step to put yourself out there sometimes but a great learning experience after doing so!"
