Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors welcome prospective students to campus for tours, host day visits, and serve as a point of contact for students going through the admissions process.

Service Committee

Service Committee aims to make an impact on our local and global communities by putting together different fundraisers and activities to raise money and awareness for a variety of causes. Abigail Potts ’24 shares, “As a leader of service committee I have had the best time being in a club that cares so much about helping others.” In Fall 2022 Service Committee rallied the community to donate more than 500 pounds of food to be donated to the Gemma E.

During the holiday season the club installed a “Giving Tree” in the HUB where students were encouraged to donate mittens, gloves, socks and gently used coats for the WARM Center in Pawcatuck.
