Join the Study Abroad Ambassador Program
If you are eager to talk to other Temple students about your experiences overseas and hope to encourage more Temple students to study abroad, we have the perfect opportunity for you! We're looking for students with excellent communication, presentation, and creative skills, as well as enthusiasm for study abroad, to join our Study Abroad Ambassadors program. Becoming an Ambassador is a great way to continue processing the lessons you learned abroad and build your resume.
As an Ambassador, you'll join a network of globally-minded students, have the opportunity to talk with prospective study abroad students about your experiences, and even develop materials and presentations based on study abroad topics of interest to you. You'll assist with study abroad promotional efforts, provide basic advising to prospective study abroad students, and participate in study abroad information sessions and special events throughout the semester, including study abroad fairs.
Study Abroad Ambassadors commit to volunteering at 2 events per semester and serving as a contact for students. Additionally, participation in the Study Abroad Ambassador training is required.
Ambassador Applications are due every year in July. The 2021-2022 Ambassador Program Application is will open in May, 2021.
