Prospective Honors Students

Welcome to Honors Ambassadors!

Each year, University Honors is committed to recruiting a group of academically talented, diverse, and unique students to the campus. Honors Ambassadors is a student-run group that allows us, current Honors students, to share our enthusiasm about University Honors with you! We represent Honors at open houses, question and answer panels, as well as other recruitment-related events. We serve as the bridge between you and current Honors students, giving you the inside scoop on the University and Honors. We look forward to meeting you and your family. Go Terps!
