5 Ambassadors sta medical booths at events like charity walks and runs, help out at campus open houses for high school students and give many individual tours to prospective medical students. A couple of first-year students have mentioned it was what convinced them to come to the Wichita campus, because of the ambassador who showed them around. "A lot of them are just curious about what medical school entails," Oakes added. "There are medical (television) shows where people kind of get an idea, but they just want to know what the day-to-day life is like for us." Ambassadors have also spoken to local public ocials and prospective donors about the school. Whatever their audience, it's not hard to see why the ambassadors' enthusiasm is contagious. "I think we're just trying to make it more known that the Wichita campus is not only present but flourishing, and people are generally happy to be here," Oakes said. "I would choose it all over if I could."
