Become a WMU Student Ambassador!

WMU Student Ambassadors are current, undergraduate students who love being Broncos and want to share their pride with prospective students and their families. Ambassadors have the distinct opportunity to interact with guests during what is likely their first interaction with WMU. Our goal is to make a positive impact on guests and assist them to the best of our abilities during their college search journey. 

Tour guides must be able to work two tour shifts Monday through Thursday between 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. and/or 1 - 3 p.m. A competitive application will also have availability on Fridays and Saturdays. 

"I wanted to be a student ambassador to spread my love of WMU to prospective students! As a first-generation student, I needed resources into what college life is actually like. Knowing I can be that resource for other students is so special!" - Samantha S
