Help others discover the Perks of Berks
Penn State's Lion Ambassadors, managed by the Admissions Office, are student volunteers who serve as representatives for the University. As a recognized student organization, the Lion Ambassadors offer students opportunities for extracurricular growth, professional development, and to cultivate their leadership skills.
At Penn State Berks, the purpose of the Lion Ambassadors is to promote the betterment of the college through student involvement in various recruitment and development activities.
