My name is Samantha Ross and I am a senior majoring at SUNY Oneonta majoring in Business Administration and Economics with a minor in art. I am from Rockland County, New York and I began serving as a Student Ambassador for the economics department in January 2026.

As someone who combines analytical thinking with creativity, I am passionate about making the economics department more visible, accessible, and engaging for students across campus. My goal as an ambassador is to promote department initiatives, increase student involvement in events and academic opportunities, and foster a stronger sense of community among econ majors and minors.

I look forward to creating opportunities for students to get involved, connect with faculty, and feel confident in their academic and professional paths within economics.
