Herff College of Engineering
Herff College Ambassadors
Herff College Ambassadors are a group of high-achieving students who are the voice and face of the college in the community, at industry/alumni events, and more importantly, to prospective students. Often the first person a visiting family will interact with, an ambassador provides an all incompassing tour and personalized experience for each prospective family. Ambassadors also represent Herff College at various recruitment events across the state.

I became an engineering ambassador not only because I wanted to represent my school in a positive way, but also because I wanted to share my story with prospective students who are unsure about majoring in engineering. I understand how stressful the college admissions process can be from deciding on a school to picking a major. I would love to alleviate some of the stress by answering questions, giving a tour, or sharing what the college experience is like from a student's perspective. The Herff College of Engineering has provided me with many opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. My hope is to give prospective students the same comfortable, inviting feeling I felt when I first stepped on campus as well as share some of the insights I have learned over the years.Jada Sandridge, Biomedical EngineeringGraduation Year: 2023Extracurriculars: President Tau Beta Pi, Secretary Alpha Eta Mu Beta, Society of Women Engineers, Biomedical Engineering Society, National Society of Black Engineers, and undergraduate research assistant.
