UC Ambassadors and Ringers

UC Ambassadors

The UC Ambassadors are a group of current Ursuline students who support the efforts of the Office of Undergraduate Admission by providing the student perspective for all campus visits. UC Ambassadors give campus tours, assist in the Admission Visit Center, take prospective students to lunch and host students overnight. They also communicate with prospective students via phone, email, chat and text! The UC Ambassadors assist with data entry in the office and lend a hand at admission events. These passionate, interesting, welcoming students are part of the student ambassador team in Undergraduate Admission. They are led by Admission Office Coordinator Barbara McMahon who runs a tight ship as she coordinates schedules for the ladies but also leaves time for recognition of their accomplishments and having fun!
