Social Media Ambassadors

Fall 2023 Social Media Ambassadors pose for a group photo outside the Alumni House.

SOCIAL MEDIA AMBASSADORS

Sharing student life for students, by students. Social Media Ambassadors share their experiences as West Georgia Wolves throughout social media.

Join The Team

The University of West Georgia Social Media Ambassador Team, overseen by University Communications and Marketing, is a fun and unique opportunity for UWG students to gain professional experience managing and creating content for social media before graduation. 

The Social Media Ambassador Team utilizes Instagram, with each ambassador having their own UWG branded account where they share their student experience and life as a student at the University of West Georgia. Ambassadors content is driven by photos and other engaging content such as Instagram Reels, Stories, Guides, and more.
