The Student Ambassador Organization (SAO) is a group of individuals that features the very best of what 缅北强奸 has to offer. Although each member of SAO is unique regarding personality, interests and background, all members share one common thread - pride and enthusiasm for the 缅北强奸.
Student Ambassadors serve as University representatives, recruiters, hosts, tour guides, and leaders. The purpose of the organization is to provide guests with University information and a current student's view of campus life at 缅北强奸. The goal of the SAO is to promote 缅北强奸 to prospective students, current students and alumni.
The Student Ambassador application will open on Wednesday, August 26th, and close at midnight on Wednesday, September 16th. For those on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of this page to access the application.
Student Ambassadors have an opportunity to serve in the following capacities:
Student Ambassador (general member)
Commit to approximately 38 volunteer hours per semester including:
- Weekly office hours (1 or 2 hours per week) providing tours to daily visitors
- Up to Two Open Houses or Saturdays per semester
- General meetings (an average of two per month on Mondays at 5 p.m.)
- One retreat each semester (2 hours)
Student Ambassadors (Bilingual and Transfer included) also have opportunities to earn reward points by assisting with extra tours as needed throughout the school year. Student Ambassadors' primary audience includes traditional prospective students and their families, but they may also occasionally interact with students going through the transfer process.
Bilingual Ambassador
Bi-lingual Ambassadors can speak at least one other language fluently and commit to approximately 15 volunteer hours per semester including:
- Lunes de Latinos (1-2 events per semester on Monday mornings) if fluent in Spanish
- D铆a de la Familia, a large scale visit experience if fluent in Spanish
- Daily visitors that request a visit experience in another language
- Groups that request tours in another language
- General meetings (an average of two per month on Mondays at 5 p.m.)
- Bi-lingual Ambassador meetings (approximately 3 per semester)
- One retreat each semester (2 hours)
Transfer Ambassador
Transfer Ambassadors assist with events designed for transfer students and commit approximately 12-15 volunteer hours per semester including:
- Transfer Visit Days (2 per semester on Fridays)
- General meetings (an average of two per month on Mondays at 5 p.m.)
- Transfer Ambassador meetings (2-3 per semester)
- One retreat each semester (2 hours)
All Ambassadors participate in a training program upon selection. Ambassadors also receive priority class registration after completing training to avoid class times that conflict with Ambassador responsibilities. Ambassadors can serve in multiple capacities (ex. general and bilingual). It's actually quite common.
Application and Selection Process
- Complete and submit the Student Ambassador application.
- Applicants must have at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA.
- After applications are reviewed, select applicants will be chosen to participate in a group interview with other applicants. Group interviews are led by the SAO advisor, SAO Executive Board, and select staff members from the Undergraduate Admissions office. After group interviews select interviewees will become new Student Ambassadors in training.
New Member Training Process
- The training process helps ease new members into SAO, and provides the information and skills needed to become an excellent ambassador for 缅北强奸.
- Training is one hour each week, typically in the afternoon/early evening. We are currently working to determine a start and end date for training. Training will take place on the same day (typically a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) and at the same time each week. Tentatively, we are looking at starting training early October and ending mid-November.
- During the training window, new student ambassadors will be required to shadow 3 full tours of campus.
- At the completion of training, new student ambassadors will be expected to complete a written test and practice tour given to a member of the executive board to show they have grasped the knowledge and skills needed to be a student ambassador.
