Who
A group of committed ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ students and alumni who wish to serve in an ambassador role for the school. The purpose of the program is to create a cadre of students who are willing and able to represent ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ at various events, tours, webinars, panels, and person-to-person interaction. In return, these students will earn important marketing, communication, and leadership skills to be used in a future career, all while showing pride in their school.
Why
In order to grow the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ student population, more school representatives are needed. We need willing and able students to make phone calls, conduct webinars, serve on various panels, and represent ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ at events where ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ regular staff and faculty are unable. Having a student speak into their own experiences helps provide a student’s perspective on the school and the various degrees at ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥.
