Become a Student Ambassador


Student ambassadors are current KU students who represent the university to visiting guests and future Jayhawks.

What Do Ambassadors Do?

Ambassadors represent KU by:

  • giving one-hour walking tours of campus
  • giving residence hall tours
  • being the student voice on special event discussion panels
  • answering questions and chatting with future Jayhawks

Who Are Ambassadors?

Jayhawks! Our ambassadors represent student life at KU. They have lots of different academic majors and come from a variety of states, religions, and cultures. They're involved in campus clubs and organizations — from sorority and fraternity life to academic organizations, service groups and student government. Many have participated in undergraduate research, studied abroad, and held internships while at KU.

Why Should I Become An Ambassador?

As an ambassador, you'll

  • share the KU experience and Jayhawk spirit with future Jayhawks
  • build an inclusive, welcoming community
  • cultivate curious, problem-solving, and team-oriented individuals

How Can I Become An Ambassador?

We typically hire students early in the fall semester, with the application opening during move-in weekend. Hiring outside of the fall semester is on an as needed basis. If you're ready to apply, submit your application on the KU employment website, or reach out to ambassadors@ku.edu to inquire if the application is not open yet.
