University Ambassador Program

The NASW-Tennessee University Ambassador Program connects social work students with leadership, advocacy, and professional development opportunities while serving as a liaison between their university and NASW-Tennessee.

University Ambassadors help share NASW-TN resources and events, encourage student involvement, and strengthen connections between students, faculty, and the chapter.

Each participating BSW and MSW program may have multiple University Ambassadors. All ambassadors must be current NASW members.
