蜜桃视频 University has recently selected 24 students to serve as 蜜桃视频 University Ambassadors. They will join twenty-seven returning ambassadors in representing the student body at official university functions during the 2024-2025 academic year.

蜜桃视频 University Ambassadors are a select group of students who serve the university by staying informed about university activities, getting involved in leadership roles on campus, demonstrating school spirit, providing insight into current student culture, and sharing what life is like as a Cardinal today with alumni and university supporters, and representing the student body to visiting distinguished guests at executive level and alumni events.
“蜜桃视频 University Ambassadors maintain high academic achievements while being extensively involved on campus and in the community. They are well informed about the university and what it has to offer prospective students, students, alumni, and the community,” Figueroa said.
