Multicultural Ambassadors

Become a Multicultural Ambassador!

Who are the Multicultural Ambassadors?

Multicultural Ambassadors are students at Tarleton State University who are committed to listening, learning, sharing, and growing by expanding their horizons.

How do I become a Multicultural Ambassador?

You must sign a pledge to be part of the Multicultural Ambassadors program. The pledge notes your dedication to diversity, to inclusion, to respectful communication and empathic listening. Once you've completed your pledge, you receive a t-shirt and list of activities. It is easy to join! Just stop by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion in TSC # 21 or email diversity@tarleton.edu.

What do the Multicultural Ambassadors do?

Multicultural Ambassadors volunteer to collaboratively explore new ideas, expand opportunities through activities on and off campus, and pledge to foster respectful communication in every day interactions. Like true ambassadors, the goal of each student is to cross cultural bridges, build relationships across cultures, and explore the bonds that we all share.

By modeling effective and respectful listening and communication in their every day lives, the Multicultural Ambassadors are spreading civility. We have monthly Luncheons where we all learn and grow around special topics, social reflective gatherings, on- and off-campus activities, and explore additional skills training through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. We tailgate at each home football game to share our message with others and cheer on our Texans! Additionally, we take some fun trips off-campus to the State Fair, to explore spoken word poetry, and to volunteer.

Multicultural Ambassadors can be found at most of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion events! We serve as facilitators, leaders, guides, and participants and we hope to see you at our next event!
