The IUP Ambassadors were founded in 1993 under the direction of the IUP Alumni Association for the purpose of serving as a link between prospective students, current students, administrators, faculty members, alumni, and friends of IUP. The organization works to engage alumni and current students with campus life and makes students more aware of their potential roles as IUP alumni.
The IUP Ambassadors work regularly with the Office of Alumni and Constituent Engagement, administrators, alumni, and special guests of IUP. Specifically, they play an important role in various alumni events, IUP Homecoming, as well as young alumni and student engagement, admissions, and career networking programs.
To achieve membership balance, we are seeking first or second semester freshmen or sophomores; however, upperclassmen will also be considered. Our hope is that our IUP Ambassador membership continues to be diverse in all ways and represents all academic colleges and departments.
To become an IUP Ambassador you must apply for membership. Students may be nominated by the following individuals:
If you like the idea of becoming an IUP Ambassador, please apply by completing our membership application. After your application has been reviewed, a member of the organization will reach out to you with more information about your next steps.
Applications are due by March 1, 2024.
Students seeking more information are welcome to join us for an IUP Ambassador Open House in Breezedale Alumni Center on Sunday, February 19, 2023 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
The IUP Ambassadors are seeking your nomination for qualified students from your department, classes, or organization. Nominated students should be those who you believe would represent the university and your college well, and enjoy and benefit from being an IUP Ambassador. The students you nominate will receive an email telling them of their nomination and explaining the organization, the application, and the interview process. The students selected through the interview process will have the opportunity to become a member of the IUP Ambassadors.
Nominations are due by February 14, 2024.
