Student Ambassadors

Help build and grow the Novak Leadership Institute by becoming an NLI Student Ambassador.

New in 2021, the Student Ambassador Program brings together driven students from Novak Institute courses and programs to leverage their insights, ideas, and skills to grow the Institute and expand its impact among MU students and beyond. As an NLI Student Ambassador, you’ll join a competitive group of select students to apply your talent and passion for leadership to document, promote and build upon what’s happening in our programs and courses.
