HONORS AMBASSADORS

Welcome to the Honors Ambassadors site! Honors Ambassadors is a brand new program within the Honors department and I'm very excited to get things underway. I'm a sophomore Business major and as one of the student coordinators for Honors Ambassadors, I look forward to meeting and working with both current and prospective students throughout the year. This semester, I will be working to coordinate the Ambassadors website and e-mail as well as the application process and various activities for current Ambassadors. I'm always around and available to talk if you have any ideas or questions, so just let me know!

Honors Ambassadors Host-A-Day
Spend a Day with an Honors Student!

On select days, Honors Ambassadors will be available to host a prospective Honors student for a day. The prospective student will be able to spend a day involved in campus life with a current Honors student, including classes and extracurricular activities, to get an up-close feel for what a day in the life of an Honors student entails. We try our best to match students by academic area of interest. Reservation needed at least 2 weeks in advance. Contact the University Honors Program at honors@umd.edu. Please include your name, phone number, mailing address, year in school, potential major (if any), and best dates for a visit in your email.
