Viterbi Student Ambassadors

What We Do

Viterbi Student Ambassadors (VSAs) are current students who serve as resources for prospective students and their families. They answer questions, share their experiences, and represent the Viterbi School of Engineering at official admission events, including virtual information sessions, live chats, campus programs, and content creation.
