The Archer Fellow Alumni Ambassadors act as the Archer Center's official representatives. Ambassadors share their experiences and knowledge of Archer Center programs with prospective students, faculty, and campus administrators at their home institutions. The team also supports alumni engagement by connecting recent graduates with the Archer Fellow Alumni Association. 

Our Archer Fellow Alumni Alumni Ambassadors play a significant role in connecting past, present, and future Archer Fellows!
