Student Ambassadors

UB SON ambassadors are outstanding student leaders who are passionate about our prelicensure programs and the nursing profession. Student Ambassadors understand the nursing student experience better than anyone else and provide valuable knowledge and insight. Their volunteer duties include leading tours, assisting with admissions events and creating social media content. We are proud to have these exceptional students and future nurses represent UB.
