The Office of Undergraduate Research is seeking students who have participated in undergraduate research experiences to serve as research ambassadors for the 2016-2017 academic year. Ambassadors represent the Office of Undergraduate Research at various functions and events including on-campus recruiting days, student receptions, class visits, first-year seminars and fall semester check in.
Ambassadors give short (10 to 20 minute) presentations to prospective and current students, UNL faculty and staff, and other distinguished visitors about their undergraduate research experiences. Ambassadors are expected to participate in at least three events per semester. Students will not be asked to miss class to participate.
As an Undergraduate Research Ambassador, you will receive:
-Pay for your time spent presenting;
-An undergraduate research polo shirt;
-Opportunities to network with UNL faculty, staff and students;
-Public speaking experience.
Any undergraduate researcher may apply. We are looking for 10 to 12 ambassadors with strong communication skills and enthusiasm about the power of undergraduate research. In addition, we seek a diversity of majors including the fine and performing arts, humanities and social sciences. For questions regarding the Undergraduate Research Ambassador program, please contact ucare@unl.edu.
Applications are due Friday, May 6, and should be submitted to UCARE@unl.edu. The application is found at http://ucare.unl.edu/Undergrad%20Research%20Ambassador%20App%202016-17.pdf
