How to become an Ambassador

The McCoy College Ambassadors are a select group of students who represent Texas State University and McCoy College of Business to members of the San Marcos community at McCoy College sponsored programs and events. We look for individuals who possess a strong sense of maturity, poise, and sense of pride in their academic institution. We meet every other week on Tuesday 5 pm–6 pm.
