Support for configuring these client applications with Google will be provided at the Knox Center Adaptive Technology Computing Site (ATCS) in the Shapiro Library, Room 1128.

Involvement Ambassadors serve as peer advisors for their fellow students. The Ambassadors work both individually and collectively as a team to assist fellow students that are exploring campus involvement. In addition, they are a peer resource for student organization leadership in the areas of campus policies and procedures, leadership development, and student organization best practices. The Ambassadors team works to create innovative trainings, resources, and networking opportunities for students.
