The society promotes academic excellence and is involved in community service projects on and off campus. The Aggie Ambassadors are student representatives of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. They promote the college through outreach and educational opportunities at the university, community, state and national levels. The organization welcomes incoming freshman and transfer students and encourages prospective students to apply to UC Davis. Students from all class levels and majors are eligible for membership in the Aggie Ambassadors.
Members benefit through public speaking opportunities, leadership and public service experience.
They may receive course credits, internship credits or transcript notation. The purpose of this group is leadership. Members develop displays, speak with prospective students and represent the college at events such as the Tulare Farm Show and Decision UC Davis. This spring, Aggie Ambassadors phoned many of the 4,000 students offered admission to the college for fall 1999. One ambassador commented, Personally, if someone from this group had been available when I was applying to colleges, I would have contacted them right away.
