Our Mission
The Trinity University Student Ambassadors (TUSA) serve as representatives of the Trinity student body to Trinity alumni, donors, and the University community. Working closely with the Alumni Relations and Development offices, the Ambassadors aim to boost student engagement by establishing and maintaining memorable traditions, raising campus awareness about the importance of giving, and linking current and past Trinity students to share experiences, open opportunities, and promote a lifetime commitment to philanthropy.

Our Four Pillars
All our programming efforts fall into four main pillars:
Philanthropy
TUSA educates students on giving to Trinity University. Events like Tuition Stop Day highlight the value of supporting Trinity.
Tradition
TUSA upholds traditions and creates new ones reflecting the student body. Members honor traditions that reinforce Trinity values of discovery, excellence, impact, and community.
Engagement
TUSA is committed to showing the student body how to take charge of our education and network at Trinity. Through events, TUSA members engage with the community to create a vibrant Tiger network.
Service
Service is key to giving back. Students contribute time, resources, or wisdom to the community and to each other as student ambassadors.
Events
