Who Are We?
The 31 Ambassadors, originally known as NLU31, is a prestigious group of hand-selected
ULM students who serve as official hosts for university and alumni events.
Founded in 1981 during NLU’s 50th anniversary, the organization was created to raise
awareness of the benefits and activities provided by the Alumni Association. Named
in honor of the university’s founding year, 1931, the group is now known as the 31
Ambassadors, or “31ers.” Their mission is to represent ULM and its Alumni Association,
host select university and alumni-related events, promote student engagement with
the Alumni Association, and instill a spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy among
current students and future alumni.
Members benefit from exclusive leadership and networking opportunities through direct
involvement in student-led and alumni events, offering valuable face-to-face connections
with distinguished alumni and professionals. The organization also includes personal
development and leadership workshops three times each semester. As the only registered
student organization invited to assist in the President’s Box during football games,
members engage with President Berry’s personal guests in a unique, high-profile setting.
Additionally, the 31 Mentorship Program pairs Ambassadors with mentors from the Alumni
Association Board of Directors, further strengthening their professional networks
and development.
Sponsored by the ULM Alumni Association, the group is largely self-sustaining through
generous contributions from benefactors and alumni.
