No one shares the UF Online student experience better than our students. As a UF Online Student Ambassador, the mission is to ensure every student feels welcomed, supported, and connected to Gator Nation.
Each ambassador provides advice and tips, host virtual meet-ups, and ultimately serves as a liaison between UF Online staff and the student body. Current UF Online students can connect with the ambassadors in the UF Online Plaza to join them for game nights, chat with them during virtual meet-ups, you can even keep up them with on Instagram @ufonlinesa!
