Meet Our CUE Student Ambassadors
Student Ambassadors are an integral part of CUE by assisting with both our recruitment and marketing events. Ambassadors are key representatives of the university and provide a vital service in promoting post-secondary education as a whole. Ambassadors are in contact with young learners, prospective students, and influencers of all ages and backgrounds.
Ambassadors Inspire; Engage; Assist; Promote; Explain; and Encourage
Many of our campus tours are led by a Student Ambassador. Read on to learn more about where they’re from, what they’re studying, and why they chose CUE.
