Each year, the Graduate School selects a new class of twelve Ambassadors from across all academic areas to represent the Auburn Family at special events, both on campus and off. Signifying the rich history of Hargis Hall, which was built in the same year as the name indicates, our 1887 Society Ambassadors have opportunities to share Auburn University with prospective and new students, welcome guests and alumni to campus, and develop leadership and networking skills to enhance their education beyond the classroom.
If you are passionate about sharing your experience as an Auburn student, enjoy meeting new people or networking with special guests, and want to develop your leadership potential, we invite you to apply to join the 1887 Society Ambassadors.
