Committees

Campus Outreach

As part of the Campus Outreach Committee, our mission is to generate excitement among prospective students for the specialized master’s programs at the Hough Graduate School, Warrington College of Business. Through engaging presentations, active participation in campus clubs, and firsthand insights shared during information sessions, we connect with eager minds. Moreover, we lead efforts to promote program events by interacting with the broader Hough community, ensuring our offerings reach far and wide across campus.

Events

Information Sessions: Deliver information and exchange experiences with potential students through both in-person and online learning platforms. The Hough Ambassadors actively interact with interested individuals and assist in recruiting suitable candidates for the MIB, MSM, and MSMAR programs.

Tabling: Engage with the greater Hough community by showcasing exciting program events throughout the week at Hough Graduate School. Additionally, find us at Warrington College of Business events like Business Bash and Warrington Welcome Professional Development Summit. This initiative not only represents the specialized master’s program but also raises awareness of the combined and traditional degree options, all while fostering professional development and enhancing communication skills.

Campus Collaborations: Extend our presence beyond the Warrington College of Business by participating in events across the UF campus, contributing to the university community, and enlightening non-business majors about the degree options available.

Community Engagement

Volunteer and engage with the Gainesville community. This committee is responsible for growing the program’s network by identifying local leaders, organizations, and companies for collaboration, as well as planning community service-related events.

Events

The Big Event: Ambassadors proudly took part in The Big Event—a citywide day of service dedicated to giving back to the Gainesville community. Led by University of Florida students, this annual tradition celebrates the spirit of the “Gator Good” by showing gratitude through meaningful service.

Habitat for Humanity Service Day: Hough Ambassadors came together to support Habitat for Humanity by painting newly constructed homes for families in need. This hands-on experience not only brought students closer to each other, but also strengthened our ties with the local community. We helped build hope, connection, and a brighter future.

Food4Kids: Teamed up with Food4Kids to assemble lunch boxes for children facing food insecurity in our community. Each box packed with care not only provided nourishment but also a message of compassion—showing that even small acts of service can make a big impact in a child’s day.

Student Engagement

Together we plan and implement activities designed to engage and motivate Ambassadors! We strive to create a fun, positive, and productive culture here at Hough through strengthening our relationships, working as a team, and nourishing a prosperous organization.

Events

Super Bowl Watch Party: Gathered at First Magnitude Brewery for a lively Super Bowl watch party filled with excitement, great food, and even better company. From cheering on their favorite teams to enjoying pizza, drinks, and the halftime show, it was a night of fun and team spirit that brought everyone together.

Lake Wauburg BBQ Social: Students soaked up the sunshine and Florida’s natural beauty with a fun-filled barbeque at Lake Wauburg. We had burgers on the grill, tasty skewers, fresh dips, and great company, it was the perfect way to unwind, connect with peers, and enjoy the outdoors.

Other events include Baseball Socials, Retreat, Krishna Picnics, and more!
