Lead with Pride: Resources for Class Ambassadors

We’re thrilled to introduce the Alumni Class Ambassador Program—a meaningful way for alumni to stay connected, give back, and make a lasting impact on the future of our College. As a Class Ambassador, you will serve as a vital link between your classmates and the College, helping to foster a strong, supportive alumni community.

Class Ambassadors play an essential role in keeping the spirit of their graduating class alive by sharing news, encouraging participation in events and giving opportunities, and celebrating milestones. Whether it’s rallying classmates for reunions or simply helping to keep the bond between alumni and the College strong, your involvement helps ensure that our legacy continues to thrive for generations to come.

As a Class Ambassador, promoting crowdfunding through JustGiving is a meaningful way to inspire your classmates to support Paul Smith’s College. It empowers alumni to come together, no matter where they are or what they can give, and make a collective impact on current students. By sharing a campaign with your network, you help fuel hands-on learning, preserve Adirondack traditions, and show students that Smitty spirit is still strong. Every share and donation you encourage strengthens our community and reinforces the value of a Paul Smith’s education.
