Who are student ambassadors?
Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business' volunteer student ambassadors are driven, reliable and versatile opportunity seekers. They're goal-driven, passionate about entrepreneurship and confident initiative takers.
They're also experts at identifying both areas of strength and areas for improvement. So even if you don't think of yourself as all of the above (yet), this is a great step towards it.
No technical skills are required, and we'd love to grow a team that is representative of all faculties!
Why should you become a student ambassador?
Being an ambassador offers an opportunity to develop numerous important skills that would help you succeed in any role and are in high demand by employers.
- Networking: connect with students and community partners outside your immediate circle, initiate and maintain professional relationships, and leverage connections for future gain
- Public speaking and communication skills: communicate effectively, articulate eloquently and engage with others persuasively
- Leadership and teamwork skills: organize and coordinate activities, be an effective team member or team lead and collaborate to achieve a common goal
