How to Apply to the Student Ambassador Program
The application to become a Student Ambassador is sent out each spring (mid- to late-March) to all PharmD students. The application consists of a few short essay questions and an area where you can rank the events you would like to participate in. New ambassadors are selected each year. Leadership applications are available at the same time (see Leadership page for positions).
Selection Criteria
- Application Responses
- Event Availability
- Performance as an Ambassador to date (if applicable)
- Feedback may be obtained from School of Pharmacy faculty or staff
Program Expectations
- Every Student Ambassador is required to volunteer at 2-3 assigned events throughout the school year. These events are assigned based on the ranking you complete while filling out your application.
- Ambassadors usually end up giving 1-2 tours a semester.
- You must attend Student Ambassador Orientation in the fall.
Why You Should Apply
Many Student Ambassadors find that the program is a great way to gain leadership skills (even those who aren’t formally serving in a leadership role), and to expand their confidence and comfort level in working with large groups of people. As a Student Ambassador you have the opportunity to connect with faculty/staff, students from other classes, alumni, and prospective students.
