Get to Know Your Peer Ambassador
Sometimes, we spotlight a COH Advisor or Peer Ambassador, so you can get to know the people behind the desks at the Office of Student Success. This week, we’re glad to introduce Peer Ambassador, aspiring athletic trainer, and Kinesiology (PTAH) major, Jack Hammack (he/him).
