Welcome to the Student Ambassador Program
The Student Ambassador Program connects prospective and new students with friendly, knowledgeable peers who help make the transition to Santa Monica College easier. Whether you're graduating from high school, returning to college after time away, changing careers, or exploring your options, our Student Ambassadors are here to answer questions, share their experiences, and help you feel confident as you begin your journey at Santa Monica College.
