FAA Ambassadors

The FAA Ambassadors program was founded to cultivate public relations and leadership skills in current students, while offering a unique perspective about the college to prospective students, alumni, and donors. This diverse group of enthusiastic, dynamic individuals promote the college by interacting with prospective students, assisting with recruitment and marketing invitations, and serving as hosts for prospective students, alumni, donors, and their families at campus events. Contact Brenda Williams (wllmscn2@illinois.edu) for more information.

FAA Summer Intensive Counselors

The FAA Summer Intensive is a one-week, in-residence summer camp for high school students interested in the visual and performing arts. Counselors are high-energy, responsible current students who live in the residence halls with attendees in a leadership capacity, gain valuable work experience, and earn money. Counselors also share their perspectives on being a part of FAA and positively promote the university. Contact Brenda Williams (wllmscn2@illinois.edu) for more information.
