Factors in Consideration When reviewing applicants, we first consider the make-up of our current team of Ambassadors and then seek to add new Ambassadors who complement the availability of our team as well as the majors and experiences that we have represented. Our goal is to have a well-rounded and diverse group of Ambassadors who can speak of the student experience and the diversity that exists within The College of Engineering and Computing. Students of all Engineering and Computing majors and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
