Students chosen to be Ambassadors represent the “brightest and best” students at Mount Carmel College of Nursing.
- Applicants must be in good academic standing with a 2.5 minimum grade point average.
- Applicants must be well rounded in terms of academic performance, activities, and/or athletics, and leadership.
