SMPA Ambassadors
SMPA Student Ambassadors are a dedicated group of students who are proud to be part of the SMPA community and want to serve as ambassadors and mentors for their peers, the university, and prospective students.
Student ambassadors support the School of Media and Public Affairs by representing the school and its programs at key recruiting events, acting as peer mentors to incoming students adjusting to life at GW, and providing an important perspective on life as an SMPA student.
