Dean's Student Admissions Ambassador Program

1. Exemplify Professionalism: Student Ambassadors will uphold the highest standards of professionalism, demonstrating integrity, respect, and ethical behavior at all times.
2. Foster Positive Relationships: Ambassadors will engage in meaningful conversations with prospective students and their families, providing accurate and helpful information about the university's four colleges, programs, admission requirements, campus resources, and student life.
3. Lead Campus Tours: Ambassadors will guide campus tours, showcasing key facilities, laboratories, research centers, and other notable areas of the medical university. They will share personal experiences, highlight unique opportunities, and answer questions to provide a comprehensive understanding of campus life.
4. Participate in Events: Ambassadors will actively participate in university events such as open houses, information sessions, career fairs, and alumni gatherings. They will assist in event planning, set-up, and serve as representatives to promote the university's offerings and opportunities. 
5. Contribute to Social Media: Student Ambassadors will be responsible for creating engaging content for the university's social media platforms, sharing their experiences, campus highlights, and important university updates to reach a wider audience.
6. Support Admissions Efforts: Ambassadors may be asked to participate in recruitment efforts, such as conducting MMI interviews, contacting prospective students, making follow-up calls, and attending college fairs or high school visits to promote the medical university. 

1. Professional Development Opportunities: Ambassadors will have access to exclusive workshops, training sessions, and seminars focused on leadership development, public speaking, effective communication, and other essential skills to enhance their personal and professional growth.
2. Networking Opportunities: Ambassadors will have the chance to network with university administrators, faculty members, medical professionals, and alumni, forging valuable connections that can open doors for future collaborations, mentorship, and career opportunities.
3. Resume Enhancement: Participation in the Dean’s Ambassador Program will significantly enhance students' resumes, demonstrating their commitment to service, leadership, and their role as ambassadors for the medical university. Upon successful completion of the program, Ambassadors will receive a letter of commendation in their university record.

1. Academic and Professional Standing: Candidates must be in good academic and professional standing and free of any current or pending disciplinary actions. Any scheduled academic related activity will take absolute precedence over any Ambassador responsibilities. Ambassadors should have excellent time management skills so that work and other organizations do not hinder their ability to participate in this program. 
2. Mandatory Training and Meetings: Ambassadors will be required to attend training sessions, regular meetings, and workshops conducted by program coordinators. These sessions will equip Ambassadors with the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfill their responsibilities effectively.
3. Dress Code: Student Ambassadors will adhere to a specified dress code that reflects professionalism and aligns with the university's standards. Guidelines will be provided to ensure appropriate attire for various events and occasions.      
4. Professional Conduct: Ambassadors are expected to represent the medical university with the utmost professionalism and adhere to the university's code of conduct. Any violation of professional conduct may result in the termination of an individual's ambassadorship.

Ambassadors will report directly to Jennifer Garbutt, College of Medicine Admissions Advisor.

To promote participation and retain ambassadors, we will incorporate a point system. The point system will be clearly communicated and will require tracking each ambassador's points, and regularly updating them on their progress to keep them motivated and engaged in the program. This responsibility will be primarily managed by the leadership positions within the program.
