What is a student ambassador?
Student ambassadors volunteer their time to welcome new AUT students and help them settle in during their first semester. They also volunteer at events throughout the year, including Orientation and AUT LIVE.

Student ambassadors will be provided with opportunities to gain leadership skills and network with other student leaders.
