Each member has a purpose, even if they don't hold a leadership position. That purpose is to aid the University in recruiting prospective students and their families. Every student ambassador gives campus tours and has the opportunity to participate in other recruitment events such as student panels, Admitted Student Receptions, Fall Previews, Nevada Bounds, and so much more! Our biannual retreats to Lake Tahoe binds us together as not only an organization, but also a family.

• A diverse community of friends- culturally, academically, and career-wise

• Free biannual retreats at Lake Tahoe 

• Free food at meetings

• Snacks and free printing in the Amby office

• If chosen, all-expenses-paid recruitment trips to places outside of Reno such as California and Las Vegas. 

No, there is no fee to join and participate in this organization.

We are not paid employees of the university. We are student volunteers who are passionate about sharing what our university has to offer. 

This is a full, extensive tour of the university where we assess your knowledge of campus facts and ability to connect with prospective students/families. 

After completing your requirements and passing your Director's Tour, you are required to attend the next retreat in order to officially give campus tours.
