The Waldorf Alumni & Ambassadors Council
The Council meets monthly and receives regular “insider updates” from program chairs and university leadership. Reorganized in the 2024-25 school year to be in alignment with best practices for higher education advisory councils, each ambassador serves a two-year term and can serve three consecutive terms.
Waldorf Ambassadors expand the reach of Waldorf University to deeply engage with alumni, families, and friends of Waldorf. We strive to be personally engaged ambassadors, advocates, and philanthropists, share Waldorf pride, and to collaborate with the Waldorf University Office of Engagement and Advancement.
If you are interested in serving or would like to nominate a fellow alum to serve, please fill out our application or contact the Alumni Office at alumni@waldorf.edu or any ambassador listed below.
