Oregon State University's Ambassadors for Agriculture, Forestry, and Natural Resources travel Oregon speaking about options for a successful future in higher education and beyond.

The ambassadors present information and answer students’ questions about OSU, college life, and, more specifically, the academic programs leading to careers in the applied biological sciences and natural-resource management, policy, communication, and education.
