Renison Marketing and Recruitment (M&R) is recruiting three (3) first year and three (3) upper-year students to support starting from August 2022 to June 2023. We are planning for a hybrid approach to recruitment events and activities for Fall 2022 to Spring 2023, so you can apply for these terms even if you do not intend to be in Waterloo. Students will be expected to support in this role for approximately 12 hours per month. Support will vary depending on times when students are not in class, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends.
As a Renison Student Ambassador, you will work with other Renison Student Ambassadors to support M&R at several recruitment events and initiatives throughout the year which may include, but are not limited to, delivering campus tours, creating social media content, and assisting with recruitment events. Renison Ambassadors share their personal experiences on what it is like to live and/or study at Renison, including answering questions about the Faculty of Arts and help future students decide if Renison is a good fit for them. Ambassadors have a powerful impact on our future students, and it provides student leaders with an opportunity to leave their (moose) tracks!
