TU Votes Ambassadors

Ambassadors cultivate leadership skills through training in public speaking, civic discourse, nonpartisanship and voter registration processes. During their time as ambassadors, students utilize their skills to present voter education workshops, staff voter registration drives and implement strategies to engage the TU community during election season.
