Fifty high school juniors and seniors are registered for the trip and will be touring campus, attending the Friday performance of Gaslight, staying with student ambassadors, participating in a faculty and staff panel, eating in the cafeteria, etc. If you run into the group, don't hesitate to introduce yourself and welcome them.

Overnights are a big part of the college decision for most students. A crucial part of the overnight is when current student hosts a prospective one. Applications for student ambassadors will be available from the Office of Admission before the end of the school year. An e-mail about nominating students for the position will be going out within a month. Ambassadors must be freshmen and sophomores who are active on campus and positively represent SMU.

For more information about the ambassador program, campus visits, or overnights contact Sarah Kay, visit coordinator and director of ambassadors.
