Meet ambassador Avery!

Avery is a sophomore studying nursing from Littleton, Colorado.

So far, her favorite part of being an ambassador is helping students during New Mav Days!

Avery’s tip for new Mavs: Join a club! It could be really fun!

Audyn’s tip for new Mavs: Get involved in something on campus!

Campfires, s’more’s, and the best team to share it with!🏕️🍫

From inflating paddle boards, to competing in scavenger hunts, our team of ambassadors proved they can lead in and out of the office!

Here’s to hard work, new friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime!
