Ambassadors of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences
Our CAAS Ambassadors are a select group of College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences students who help represent the college to prospective students, current students and the community.
What do Ambassadors do?
Ambassadors participate in recruitment events such as high school visits and both on-campus and off-campus recruitment events. In addition to their main responsibilities as recruiters, ambassadors help with other college events such as the graduation reception, the college's Awards and Honors Banquet, CAAS Week, the Utah Agricultural Products BBQ, Aggie Care Day, and the FFA/FCCLA conferences.

Dexton Lake was raised on a farm and ranch in Moreland, Idaho. He spent most weekends and summers either working with and feeding the cows, driving a tractor, or sitting on top of a horse. One of his favorite ranch activities was going to auctions and hearing the auctioneer call bids. As a result, he is a self-taught auctioneer. He officially became an Aggie in 2016. He is dual declared in Agribusiness and Plant Science with an emphasis in Horticulture and Cropping Systems. He ran for senator in the 2017 election against Kassidy Carnahan and they both lost to another candidate. As a result, they both started dating and were married in August 2018. He ran for the 2018-2019 Academic Senator position again and won in February. He loves the college and strives to make sure opportunities for all students. If you’d like to meet and talk to him, come to his office hours or stop him when he passes by you!
