Florida Polytechnic University President Dr. Randy K. Avent has appointed 19 outstanding students to serve as Presidential Ambassadors for the 2019-20 school year. Presidential Ambassadors will represent the president and Florida Poly as formal hosts at designated University events, promote the successes and vision of the University, and demonstrate excellence through leadership, academics, and citizenship.
Presidential Ambassadors serve for one academic year, and program applications are available each January for the following academic year. The Presidential Ambassadors Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from the Offices of the President, Academic Affairs, and Advancement, review the applications, conduct initial interviews and make recommendations to the president, who then makes the final selection of students to serve as ambassadors.
Presidential Ambassadors represent the University on a volunteer basis.
