Positioning of the Law Program Student Ambassadors Team
Our students have taken an important step by appointing the new Student Ambassadors of the Law Program, who were sworn in on February 20, 2025. These young people, with their leadership and communication skills, have the responsibility to be the voice of all their peers, representing with honor and commitment the values of our University Institution. The ambassadors must have the talent to mediate between the Students and the Program, guided by empathy and vision to generate an environment of growth and collaboration.
Ambassadors are challenged to contribute to improving the academic experience for all students, as well as to foster respect and cooperation among peers and professors. UNINAVARRA grows stronger when we work together, and this is a great time to show it.
