"Being a part of the K-State Libraries Student Ambassadors for the last three years has offered many opportunities to provide valuable, student-driven feedback to an institution so necessary on campus. As we recover from the Hale fire and look to the future of a next generation library, the Libraries Ambassadors strive to strengthen the connection between K-State students and their Libraries even more so than before.
It is so exciting to be a part of a group playing such a key role in this important, transformative time for a spot that is loved full well - Hale Library, the heart of the K-State campus."
Tiffany Bowers, 2018-2019 chair
About the Ambassadors
The Libraries Student Ambassadors are an elite group of undergraduate and graduate students who serve as advocates and representatives for K-State Libraries at recruitment, outreach, and fundraising activities. Ambassadors also provide valuable feedback on the Libraries' initiatives and services while representing various colleges, interests, and the perspectives of the student body.
