Become an Mbassador

The Mbassador program is dedicated to strengthening the connection between U-M students and the Alumni Association.

Launched in fall 2023, Mbassador is the Alumni Association’s student ambassador group. Mbassadors play a vital role in engaging students with the Alumni Association, promoting its programs and services, and ensuring student voices are represented. They collaborate with student organizations and contribute to the development of student-focused initiatives by offering input on programming, events, and outreach.

As the Alumni Association’s on-campus street team, Mbassadors create meaningful opportunities for students to connect with alumni. Through their efforts, they foster stronger relationships between students and alumni while enhancing the student experience.

The Mbassador program consists of student volunteers who meet regularly with Alumni Association staff to brainstorm, plan, and execute student-centered events and programs. These include Welcome Wednesdays, the Forever Go Blue Bash, Wellness Weeks, orientation activities, and homecoming celebrations.
