Matador Ambassadors
The Matador Ambassador Program is a diverse and dynamic team of leaders dedicated to representing, promoting, and serving Arizona Western College. We strive to uphold the integrity of AWC by creating a positive first and lasting impression. As part of the Admissions, Recruitment, and Outreach team, we help to encourage prospective students to make AWC their school of choice.
Visit us at the Ask-an-Ambassador desk on the top floor of the 3C! We can assist with admission applications, account activation, registration, drop-in tours, campus maps, and general questions.
