Student Ambassadors

The Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground has a group of talented, energetic, and intelligent students called Student Ambassadors. Our Student Ambassadors are chosen for their commitment to Howard Thurman’s philosophy of common ground. They help run our programs, greet new people in our Center, and represent Thurman and the HTC in the BU community. As alumni, they are often doing incredible things like running their own businesses, working in journalism, or pursuing advanced degrees to further their education.
