What is a Ferris State University Bulldog Ambassador?
FSU Alumni Ambassadors serve as liaisons between the University, their employer and communities. An Alumni Ambassador supports, motivates and encourages other Bulldog alumni in their community by offering personal testimony about their Ferris experience and assists the University with alumni events and networking opportunities. Whether an Ambassador is engaging with alumni in the area or meeting with a prospective student, every experience is an opportunity to impact the future of Ferris State University and be a part of the legacy.
Serving as an Alumni Ambassador is a great way to meet other alumni in your area, build your professional network and stay up to date with University happenings. Check out the video below to hear from Colorado Alumni Ambassador, Luke Wyckoff!
