are eligible to serve as ambassadors. Specific criteria for graduate
students can be obtained in the Office of Student Services. Members

undergraduate students in the College. Recommendations will come from
department chairs for the following representatives: Elementary Education;
Secondary Education; Music; Kinesiology; and Special Education and Multiple
