Student Alumni Ambassadors 2026-27

Applications for the 2026-27 cohort are now closed.

Student Alumni Ambassadors are a distinguished group of campus leaders dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between Oregon State University students and alumni. Through leadership development, networking opportunities and service, Ambassadors represent the student body to alumni and provide valuable insight into the student experience today.

As a Student Alumni Ambassador, you’ll engage in exclusive events and initiatives designed to enhance your personal and professional growth while strengthening the bond between current students and the broader OSU alumni network. Ambassadors will participate in 2-3 events per term (6-9 per year), along with cohort meetings at the start of each term. These events include alumni award celebrations, OSU Alumni Association (OSUAA) board-related gatherings, Dam Proud Day, OSU Days of Service, graduation activities, select OSUAA athletic-related events, regional and campaign events, and legislative advocacy initiatives. 

Additionally, one ambassador will be chosen to serve as a liaison to the OSUAA Board of Directors, attending board meetings throughout their term to represent the student perspective. In addition to building lifelong connections, Ambassadors serve as a student advisory council, helping the OSU Alumni Association stay connected to campus life and better support the student experience.
