FLI Ambassadors

What are FLI Ambassadors?

FLI Ambassadors are dynamic student leaders who proudly identify as First-Generation and/or Limited-Income (FGLI). Driven by a passion for creating a welcoming and supportive environment, our ambassadors are dedicated to making Rice University a place where FGLI students can thrive. They work tirelessly to foster a sense of belonging, offering spaces for students to relax, build lasting connections, and form meaningful friendships with peers who share similar experiences.

As role models and mentors, our FLI Ambassadors go above and beyond, hosting engaging monthly events designed to enrich the FGLI student experience. From workshops to social gatherings, these events provide opportunities to learn, grow, and bond as a community.

They also play a pivotal role in maintaining our digital presence, managing our vibrant social media platforms, and curating visually appealing and informative digital newsletters packed with tips and resources for academic and personal success.

Whether it’s sharing their own experiences or providing guidance on navigating life at Rice, our FLI Ambassadors are here to inspire and empower their fellow students, ensuring that every FGLI student feels supported, seen, and equipped to achieve their goals.
