"Advancing Our Community"

The Student Ambassadors serve as representatives of Los Medanos College and assist with increasing communication and visibility in the community. This group of select student leaders serve as knowledgeable representatives who provide information and services to the community about and for the college.

Specifically, the Student Ambassadors assist with college outreach efforts at local High Schools to encouraging youth to attend college.  They also assist with orientation programs, information sessions, resource tabling, and campus tours to assist with the transition and preparation process for new LMC students and that support current students.

Student Ambassadors strive to support the mission of the Office of Student Life, by working towards positive social change.

"Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work
that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing...
Someplace where we can be free."
