The Universities at Shady Grove (USG) Student Ambassador Program was established to assist the USG recruitment team members in our efforts to share the unique benefits of USG with prospective students and the greater community. Student Ambassadors add the credibility necessary to recruit future students to our campus.
What do student ambassadors do?
- Educate prospective students and the community on the benefits of attending a program at the USG campus via panels, tabling events, tours, and more.
- Give campus tours to prospective students and community members
- Assist with virtual and in-person open houses, info nights, and recruitment events
- Share feedback on recruitment and messaging with USG leadership
- Have fun and build community!
Benefits
Student Ambassadors have the power to create an impact on a prospective student's future educational pathway by sharing information and their personal experiences with the USG campus. This paid program allows members to expand their leadership, marketing, public speaking, and customer service skills, and achieve community involvement while working with a diverse range of individuals. The work schedule is flexible and self-managed by the program member. Ambassadors become a part of a close-knit community and feel a greater sense of pride in USG as they learn more about it through the program. Opportunities also exist to further hone leadership in the role of Senior Ambassador.
