Student Organization Training Badge of Distinction awarded to SOESA in recognition to a commitment to diersity & inclusion.

The School of Education and Human Sciences Student Ambassadors (SOESA) program is a student leadership opportunity within the school. Ambassadors assist with recruitment and retention initiatives. They are required to attend recruitment events such as UAB Day, Scholarship Reception, and Transfer Day. They also help with student engagement events, such as Homecoming, Welcome Week, and the Student Award Ceremony.

Becoming an Ambassador

Student Ambassadors are selected each spring semester and can serve continuing terms. Membership is open to all full-time undergraduate students who have completed at least 12 credit hours in the UAB School of Education and Human Sciences. After applying, qualified applicants will be contacted for an interview. Students selected to become an ambassador will be notified via email.

Ambassadors are expected to maintain a positive attitude, 3.0 cumulative GPA, leadership training, monthly meetings, and at least 2-4 recruitment and student engagement events per semester.

Applications will open in Spring 2025 for the 2025-2026 academic year.
