The Athenians are the official hosts and hostesses for Athens State University, and serve as the face of the University on-campus and within the greater Athens State community. Members serve as university representatives, greet distinguished guests and assist with campus and Alumni events such as the Fiddlers Convention, Golf Classic, and Concert Lecture Series events. Athenians are chosen through an interview and application process in fall and serve thru the academic year (fall and spring). They are chosen based on character, appearance, personality and letter of recommendation. The Athenian Ambassadors are under the direction of the Athens State University Alumni Association Board of Directors.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2013-14 Athenian Ambassadors. Click here to download the Ambassadors Application.
