Warrington Diplomats

Warrington’s frontline representatives

The Warrington Diplomats are the college’s official student ambassadors. These leaders are your connection to Warrington life, as well as tour guides for future generations of Business Gators.

Selected through a competitive process, Diplomats are top students who bring passion, energy, and insight to every interaction. They build a strong, welcoming community for all Gators through their tours, advocacy for current students, hosting of events and showcasing of college resources.

Diplomats support peers, promote engagement, and lead by example. Their impact reaches across campus and beyond the classroom.

Tours

During the fall and spring, Diplomats give in-person tours for prospective students and other guests.

All tours last approximately an hour, including a welcome video and presentation. You’ll explore the business college campus, meet current business students and have your questions answered.

After you sign up, please regularly check your email for a confirmation message as well as important updates regarding location and parking.

Committees

Diplomat committees strive to make meaningful programming. It is a requirement to serve on a committee as a Warrington Diplomat.

The Warrington Diplomats Data Committee runs the internal “Diplomats Dashboard” on Microsoft Teams, maintains the official Warrington Diplomats website, and coordinates all data collection and analysis efforts for the organization and Warrington Career Week.

The committee organizes recruitment efforts and plans Diplomat-only events. They are the face of the Warrington Diplomats, planning, organizing, and executing recruitment events, tabling efforts, and campus outreach. They promote active involvement and meaningful interactions.

The Warrington Diplomats Events Committee Develops programming and events to engage the Warrington community by helping students connect with resources, learn about involvement opportunities, and reflect on their experience in the College of Business.

The group organizes Diplomat-run tours, including schedules, tour training packets, and administrating test tours to all Diplomats to ensure high quality tour experiences. The tours committee is the only committee you have to formally be asked to join.

My time as a Diplomat was defined by significant professional growth. By guiding tours for prospective students and facilitating a variety of Warrington events, I developed my public speaking and leadership skills in real-life settings. The mentorship from Warrington faculty and older Diplomats was also impactful, especially as I prepared to graduate and transition into the working world. I treasure my time as a Diplomat!
