Meet Our Student Ambassadors

Choosing a college is a big decision, and sometimes the best person to answer your questions is a student who’s already living the experience. Our KU Student Ambassadors come from different majors, hometowns, interests and backgrounds, but they all share one thing: they’re excited to help future Jayhawks feel at home. Explore their stories, learn about their KU experiences and discover what life is really like on the Hill.
