Who We Are
UAlbany’s Purple & Gold Student Ambassadors is a group of

ambassadors for UAlbany and represent the University to its constituencies: alumni, University guests, the campus and the community.

What We Do

Members may also participate in corporate executive visits and travel to regional alumni chapter events.

What Are the Benefits of Being a Member?
*Network with well-connected, influential alumni and corporate representatives
*Sharpen your leadership and communication skills
*Build professional and social contacts
*Receive a letter of recommendation from the President's Office upon completion of the program
*Generate pride in UAlbany
