The Transylvania Admissions Ambassadors (AAs) are a group of current students from a wide range of majors and hometowns who work with prospective students as they visit campus, including hosting overnight visits. When visiting campus, you will meet our AAs in the admissions office, leading tours of campus, eating lunch with prospective students, and hosting overnight visitors in their rooms. We encourage you to come to campus and meet some of these friendly faces!
