Student Affairs
Student Ambassadors
Ambassadors are current students who are selected for their interest in helping new students prior to, during, and even after the ILSP.
Student Ambassadors are available this summer to answer your questions about coming to Gainesville, UF, and UF Law. You will be assigned to an Ambassador Team during the ILSP, but those assignments aren't completed until sections are assigned for new students in August. Feel free to read through the advice listed below from our Ambassadors and learn more about their background and interests. You will likely find that you have some things in common with some of them. If you do, be sure to contact those Ambassadors and make new friends. Since they will all be 2Ls or 3Ls, they can be of great assistance to you this year.
