Be a library ambassador

Library ambassadors are students who:

  • Are enthusiastic about the Library
  • Think the Library is amazing and Waterloo is an amazing school
  • Have excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Can relate well to students and their parents, as well as faculty and staff

Library ambassadors will attend and facilitate library activities throughout the semester. The Library ambassadors will provide support and information to students at campus fairs, library-wide events, and other library outreach initiatives.

Library ambassadors report to the student engagement coordinator and work with the Student Engagement Committee. The Library's Student Engagement Committee provides activities and initiatives for students to engage with the Library and educate them on services the Library can provide.

Library ambassadors are hired once a term, and need to reapply each term. This position pays $16.75/hour; previous work experience is not required!
