Advancement Ambassadors
About What we Do
Advancement Ambassadors is a service-focused, student leadership organization that works closely with University Advancement to connect with Pittsburg State donors, alumni, current students, and community members to help grow awareness of philanthropy and represent the current student body to alumni and friends of the University.
*Note: This group is different than Admission Ambassadors, who provide tours for potential incoming students.
Benefits
With the help of University Advancement staff and other campus and community leaders, members of Advancement Ambassadors will have the opportunity to learn and enhance their skills in a variety of areas, such as leadership, philanthropy, marketing, networking, and more. Ultimately, the combination of service to the University and professional development is meant to cultivate a meaningful experience that will benefit members and help them to succeed in other areas of their life.
Eligibility
Pitt State students must have completed a minimum of 48 academic hours by the end of the spring application semester. Transfer students must have a minimum of 48 academic hours and have completed at least one full semester at PSU. Students must be in good academic standing and active participants in the university community.
Responsibilities

- Assisting at one GorillaFest during football season
