Admission Ambassadors are volunteer student leaders dedicated to helping prospective students learn what it’s like to be a student at Oglethorpe.
When you come for a campus visit, an ambassador will be your tour guide. They also share their experiences on panels at admission events, host students visiting overnight, and can answer any questions future Petrels have about life on campus. Meet our ambassadors below and learn how they’ve made the most of their time at Oglethorpe!
