If you answered yes to the above questions, we hope you will be interested in being a part of the College’s new pilot Student Ambassadors program, designed to help future IU students learn more about the benefits of the IU College student experience. We know that prospective students and families greatly value the opportunity to meet and talk directly with current students about all aspects of student life, and when it comes to promoting the benefits of an education in the College, our students are the best ambassadors!

• Offer building and facilities tours to prospective students and special guests;

As a Student Ambassador, you will work with College professionals, train, and build valuable skills and experience in areas such as event planning and management, public speaking and presentation, collaboration and teamwork, and succeeding in a professional workplace.
