University Ambassadors represent glimpse of student life
October 01, 2024
University Ambassadors are distinguished student leaders who represent the diverse academic and student perspectives of FGCU. Sponsored by the office of Alumni Relations, university ambassadors are called upon to network with guests and to assist with special requests at occasions such as public ceremonies, donor receptions and annual signature events.

Most notably, University Ambassadors serve as lane hosts at the annual Strikes for Scholarships bowling fundraiser, hosted by the FGCU Alumni Association, assist with the silent auction at Athletics’ Night at the Nest and provide golf cart tours of campus to prospective donors. These individuals also serve as representatives in the President’s Suite at volleyball and all men’s and women’s basketball games to interact with the attendees and provide a glimpse into the student experience.
In return, students are provided the opportunity to meet and network with donors, alumni and community members. “Through my role as a University Ambassador, I have met many prestigious individuals who have helped with my career mentorship,” said Mason Covelli, MBA student and University Ambassador.
Students admitted into the University Ambassador program must have a minimum 3.3 GPA, be sponsored by a faculty/staff member, interview and agree to maintain a positive representation of the university.

- Provide individualized golf cart tours of campus to potential donors and special guests.
