Student Ambassadors at Aquinas College

Aquinas College Student Ambassadors work closely with Undergraduate Admissions, the Aquinas College Foundation, and the Office of the President representing the college in a variety of capacities. They share their unique talents and dedication to the community with all of those interested in Aquinas.
 
The AQ Student Ambassadors are known for their friendliness, enthusiasm, outstanding work ethic, and positive attitude. These select students conduct campus tours, host students overnight, participate in AQ Days, and attend receptions and donor cultivated events throughout the year. For more information on the Student Ambassador program, please contact (616) 632-2851.

Favorite thing about Aquinas:  Two things, I really like the community we have and how personable everyone is even if you don’t see then every day or even every week. I also love the nature and all the hidden trails on campus. It’s great being so close to the city as well as being within walking distance of many shops, but then we have our own little forest hide out in the middle of it all.
