CAS Student Ambassador Application
The CAS Student Ambassador Application will be open from Wednesday, October 19 to Wednesday, November 2. The College of Arts and Sciences Ambassadors is a select group of committed undergraduate students who volunteer their time, sharing stories with prospective students and their parents at various events throughout the year. CAS Ambassadors promote pride in and develop awareness of the college's academic programs and activities with prospective students, parents, alumni, and the general public. Meet them at Big Red Experience, where you can learn about majors and minors; meet faculty, staff, and students; and tour our facilities on campus. They also volunteer at Husker Weekdays, CAS Fall Kickoff, and departmental events such as Math Day.
Ambassadors:
• provide information about major(s) and minor(s)
• show facilities where different majors within the College or Arts and Sciences are housed
• Share experiences as it relates to academics and experiences (research, internships, ed abroad, service and leadership
• answer questions about the college application process and transitioning to college life
Sharing personal experiences at events is an essential part of the prospective student recruitment process. Within the ambassador program, there will be opportunities to network and socialize with other Arts and Sciences students, additional service projects throughout the year, and various professional development opportunities.
We are looking to recruit excited, outgoing, and goal orientated individuals to join our team starting in January. Student Ambassador applicants should have a declared major in the College of Arts and Sciences and be enrolled full time. Involvement in other student organizations, volunteering, leadership roles, research, internships and/or education abroad is a plus but not required.
Your story matters and you owe it to yourself to share it!
