Representing Avila University

Representing Avila University

Ambassadors Work Hard to be good Representatives of

the Student Body

           If asked, many students would not remember their first visit to Avila, or even what initially called them to attend, but the Avila Ambassadors certainly remember. The Avila Ambassadors are a group of top students working in the Admissions Office to help pay off the cost of an education. Ambassadors promote Avila University and it’s core values as well as represent the student body as a whole.

Under the lead of Advisor Bailey Carr, ambassadors provide tours for prospective students who come for campus visits, as well as participate in special University events. Ambassadors are required to give two tours a week in which they introduce soon to be high school graduates to the various departments at Avila.

Ambassadors meet each month to discuss how the semester is going and to work on ways to be even better representatives of the University. Ambassadors also team up to plan various campus activities for students throughout the semester. One of the main activities ambassadors plan is the Spring Fling and Student Appreciation Carnival. Spring Fling is an Avila tradition where every April, just when spring fever kicks in and students are ready for a break, there is a free picnic, games, and much more to do. The student appreciation carnival is a way of thanking students for their hard work and determination throughout the semester.

All students of any year and major are encouraged to join the Avila Ambassadors team. Students should contact Bailey Carr in the Admissions Office for more information.
