Faculty Ambassadors promote the college to prospective students and encourage current students to engage in FACS activities throughout the calendar year.
Many FACS faculty already participate and represent the College at a variety of events such as recruiting activities, alumni functions, seminars, classes, and receptions. Faculty Ambassadors receive $500 in scholarly support funds (e.g. travel, supplies, equipment, etc.) for each year of service.
