ARHU Ambassadors
ARHU Ambassador Program
The goal of the ARHU Ambassador Program is to provide first-year students with assistance that will help them transition to life at the UM, to improve their chance of success at UM and within ARHU, and to provide prospective students with an idea of what their University of Maryland experience could be like.
To achieve this, our Ambassador program utilizes one of the best resources found at the University: successful and accomplished undergraduate students!
