Ambassador Program

The University Ambassadors amplify the story of American Military University and American Public University by sharing experiences, advocating for University initiatives, and by serving as a role model for prospective and current students and alumni. University Ambassadors serve as advocates and leaders who are dedicated to amplifying the reputation of American Military University and American Public University by inspiring family, friends, and their wider network who are pursuing higher education. Advocates accomplish this mission through referrals while actively participating in University activities and opportunities.

A University Ambassador is a selected member of an elite group of students and alumni who are passionate about their academic experience and eager to refer and share their university pride with their professional and social networks, and beyond. University Ambassadors value the importance of learning and exemplify the qualities of leadership, scholarship, and commitment to the mission of the University System.
