Call for Martin-Gatton CAFE Ambassadors

The Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment (M-G CAFE) is seeking student ambassadors for the 2024-25 academic year. 

The Martin-Gatton CAFE ambassadors are a select group of undergraduate leaders who model and tell the story of our college, its mission and programs, as well as the University of Kentucky.  Approximately 30 ambassadors will be selected next year.  Ambassadors are expected to serve one full year and must reapply should they wish to continue for subsequent years. 

Beyond rich leadership, professional development and networking opportunities, ambassadors receive course credit through a repeatable, graded, one-credit hour course (AFE or GEN 300) for each term of service.

• Minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA, enrollment in a Martin-Gatton CAFE academic major, and completed at least 15 credit hours at UK.

• Willingness to address future (high school) students and related audiences on the importance of attending college, student life, and college and university.
• Relay information that is accurate, useful, and interesting across multiple arrays in-person, on or off campus, as well as virtually.
