Welcome: 2020-21 FTE Student Ambassadors

December 22, 2020

This year, FTE is welcoming thirty-seven student ambassadors who are committed to sharing the economic way of thinking. FTE Ambassadors are student leaders who loved the Economics for Leaders program and are compelled to inspire their peers to participate in FTE programs by sharing their own experience.

Each student has a unique story about why they participated in Economics for Leaders, what they got out of the program, and why they wanted to be an FTE Ambassador.  If you are on the fence about applying, reach out to one of our ambassadors to find out more and get a first hand account about why you should jump in feet first!
