Student Ambassadors

AEIO Student Ambassadors are peer leaders who support the office’s mission by promoting access, opportunity and community across COSAM. Established in 2016, the program brings together students who are committed to learning, leadership and creating a more inclusive campus environment.

Ambassadors actively engage in weekly meetings, trainings and campus events that build their knowledge and skills while preparing them to serve as representatives of AEIO. They play a key role in connecting students to resources, facilitating conversations and leading initiatives that promote awareness and engagement across the Auburn community.

Through outreach, peer-to-peer engagement and event programming — including workshops, discussions and community-building activities — Ambassadors help foster a culture where students from all backgrounds feel supported and empowered to succeed.
