ISU Ambassadors
ISU Ambassadors serve as a connection between Iowa State University, the state legislature, and Iowa communities in a professional and nonpartisan manner. As an informed resource, ISU Ambassadors represent and educate students about issues which are pertinent to the student experience. ISU Ambassadors is a prestigious organization of leaders with integrity and character, dedicated to creating a positive image and a strong future for Iowa State University.
As ISU Ambassadors, it is our job to connect students with:
- The State Legislature
- The Government of the Student Body
- Their home communities and communities throughout Iowa
- Members of the media
- Campus resources
- Leadership experiences and other opportunities for growth
- Other students
Contributions to the projects and goals of ISU Ambassadors are shared by committees: government, media, and special events. These committees are responsible for putting together ISU Ambassadors’ events, such as Students’ Day at the Capitol and other events at the Capitol and on campus.
