The mission of the ACTC Student Ambassador program is for participants to serve as a role model for all current and future ACTC students.  ACTC student ambassadors are exemplary leaders who support the strategic plan of the college.  They will support recruitment and enrollment for the college, promote student engagement and increase awareness of college services and programs.  Most importantly, they will display pride in being an ACTC student and will represent the student body at school and community events. The ACTC Student Ambassadors program will consist of four campus leaders who help prospective students, families, and the community understand the benefits of being part of the ACTC family.  They are role models and frontline representatives of the college dedicated to working closely with Student Success and Enrollment Services, Resource Development, and the Office of the President representing ACTC in a variety of capacities. By becoming a Student Ambassador, students are signifying their willingness to serve ACTC and support the goals and mission of our college while having fun at the same time.
