Who are Tobacco Free Campus Ambassdors?
Tobacco Free Campus Ambassadors are students, staff, faculty, and other community members, who have been trained to help maintain the culture of respect and health for everyone at Wichita State University. Ambassadors politely remind people that we are a tobacco free campus and have tobacco cessation resources available when tobacco users are ready to quit.
We understand that tobacco is addictive. Our goal is to change the culture on campus to support a tobacco free environment, not to punish tobacco users.

Interested in becoming a Tobacco Free Campus Ambassador?
Anyone can be a Tobacco Free Campus Ambassador! Ambassadors undergo a brief, 30-minute training to learn about the tobacco free policy and develop skills to respectfully intervene with non-compliant individuals. Trainings are held at least once each semester and on an as-needed basis due to scheduling conflicts.
