Grad Alumni Ambassadors
Grad Alumni Ambassadors are UNLV graduate degree holders who work with the Graduate College to help represent the graduate alumni body. Goals include building a strong graduate alumni community; working with the Graduate College to extend mentorship and professional development opportunities to current students; and strengthening ties between the Graduate College, alumni, and our broader community members.
Join Us at an Upcoming Event!
All UNLV graduate alumni, regardless of degree program, are eligible to volunteer as Grad Alumni Ambassadors. Ambassadors will work closely with Graduate College staff and the Dean to achieve these goals. The UNLV Graduate College will host one-hour informational conference calls each semester during which Grad Alumni Ambassadors will have the opportunity to hear updates from campus and ask questions.
To learn more about Grad Alumni Ambassadors, please contact Katherine Freund, the Graduate College Director of Development, at 702-895-3429 or katherine.freund@unlv.edu
