Student Ambassadors | FOUNDATION | Western Washington University

About Us

The WWU Student Ambassadors are a diverse group of student leaders who serve as representatives of the student body at events and donor meetings hosted by the President and the Western Foundation. Ambassadors seek to build and reinforce the relationships between the university and its most dedicated constituents by sharing their individual Western experiences, passions, and dreams with friends, trustees, board members, elected officials, donors, faculty, staff, students, and other campus and community leaders. Their experiences exemplify the ways in which donor support advances Western and how Western impacts the world. The Student Ambassadors are managed by the Donor Relations team at the Western Foundation.
