OHIO faculty, staff invited to nominate students as Presidential Ambassadors

A group of dedicated Ohio University student leaders were selected to assist the Office of the President at special events and gatherings earlier in the academic year as Presidential Ambassadors. The students have also been receiving professional development training and hearing from guest speakers throughout the year.

The Presidential Ambassadors are a select group of student volunteers who give their time and talents to advance the priorities and initiatives of the Office of the President. These students are loyal Bobcats and role models who represent what Ohio University has to offer.

The Office of the President is inviting all faculty and staff to submit nominations for students who would be strong candidates for the Presidential Ambassador program.

• Faculty and staff nominations can be made here.

Application process

To be considered for membership in this distinguished student group, students must be willing to meet the required time commitments and submit an online application during the application period, which ends at midnight on Feb. 27, 2025.

Applicants should meet the following:

• 3.0 GPA or higher
• Enrollment as a full-time undergraduate student
• The completion of at least two semesters of academic work at OHIO by the start of the fall term in which they will begin serving
• A reference letter from an Ohio University faculty member or advisor

Letters of recommendation should be emailed to Matt Thomson directly from the faculty member or advisor by email at thomsonm@ohio.edu.

The OHIO Presidential Ambassadors selection process is highly competitive. If students are chosen from the pool of applicants to progress to the next stage, they may be invited to participate in an in-person interview.
