Who are we?
The UWRF Chancellor's Student Ambassadors, or CSAs, are a group of student leaders who are selected to represent the university in a variety of capacities. Student ambassadors are dedicated to student success and to strengthening student connections. They serve UWRF with enthusiasm and pride and play a vital role in the success of the university as a whole.
An appointment as a Chancellor's Student Ambassador is one of high honor and an opportunity for personal and professional growth. CSAs enjoy the rich experience of working with diverse groups of students, faculty, and guests across campus. They are committed to embracing the campus and community population and are excited about sharing their UW-River Falls experiences with others.
