Current Ambassadors

Sebastian Bryngelson

MSF Class of 2027

Meet Sebastian

  • Hometown: Houston, Texas
  • Undergraduate Major: Agricultural Economics
  • Months of Work Experience: 0
  • “I am interested in becoming a student ambassador for the MSF program because of the impact ambassadors had on me. Coming from Texas A&M, doing graduate school at The University of Texas felt outside of my comfort zone. However, the conversations I was able to have with students helped me look beyond the college football rivalry and understand the culture, sense of community, and amount of success that the MSF sets graduates up for.”

Before applying, I visited campus and spoke with student ambassadors, members of the student body, and members of the advisory council–over fifteen individuals in total. Everyone was generous with their time and honest about their experiences, which helped me feel confident that UT was the right fit. I would be excited to offer that same support to prospective students.”
