August 2025: Top 10 Student Ambassadors YouTube Videos
At York St John University, our Student Ambassadors bring you the most authentic snapshots of campus life, from open days to arts festivals and beyond. Each video is filmed, edited, and narrated by our talented student creators and this month, you’ve been watching their stories in the hundreds.
These monthly round-ups will focus on the Student Voice Ambassador content we receive each month. As this is the very first edition, it’s a little special. We have collected and curated the Top 10 from the months of June, July, and August to showcase the incredible creativity and impact of our student creators.
