The Student Ambassador Program in the School of Nursing and Health Studies (SNHS) is designed to cultivate leaders who excel across leadership domains.

The program promotes SNHS's nursing and health sciences programs to prospective students, enhances student engagement and leadership opportunities, strengthens the sense of community within SNHS, and provides peer support to current and future students.
