Ambassador Leaders

Elli Nauman - Ambassador Marketing Director

Why Ambassadors? 

I love that Ambassadors get to meet lots of new people and get to know them while also telling them about a school and community that we love. Ambassadors have experienced the beauty of JBU and desire to draw people into their community that they may be known, welcomed, and loved like they themselves have been. It’s an image of the gospel: seeking Christ in a community where people are welcomed as they are!

Will Kelly - Ambassador Leader

Year: Junior

Majors: Political Science & Marketing

Minor: PPE & Pre-Law

Why Ambassadors?
“JBU Ambassadors truly provides a unique opportunity to connect with students and provide them with a glance of what a collegiate experience looks like especially within the JBU community. One weekend in person can tell you so much more than any website or brochure about the brotherhood, friendships, and academic possibilities this campus has. It was ultimately through the caring spirit of an ambassador and a weekend in J. Alvin  that brought me to this campus. I am passionate about giving back to this program and helping students like myself who are interested in finding Christ-centered, authentic community and are pursuant of academic excellence.”
