What does the time commitment look like?
The Education Ambassadors meet once a month on Tuesdays at 4:30 for Spring 2026. While we understand that everyone is busy, we would like to ask that you make it a priority to attend. If you cannot attend for any reason, please let the secretary know before the meeting! Each meeting has built-in time to meet with your committees and check in with the other committees.
What would my responsibilities be?
We hold many different events throughout the semester; you are required to attend at least three events. These events can include tabling for prospective students, recruitment events, or other semester events such as pancakes and professors or the school supply drive. You do not have to stay for the entire time. When sign-up sheets are sent out, they have various time slots - signing up for and attending a time slot counts! Other responsibilities include representing and promoting the School of Education, engaging with potential students, providing valuable insights, and upholding values. As a cohort member, you will also be required to be a part of one of three committees. If you want to learn more about committees, please go to the "Committees" tab!
Do I have to be an Education major? Can I be an Education minor?
In order to be a part of the Education Ambassadors, being a declared education major or minor is required!Â
*You can also be an education graduate student!*
What if I am already in another education leadership program?
Already in another education leadership program? That is amazing! We would love to have you join us still, but keep in mind that there are conflicting schedules between the multiple groups. Certain meetings and events may overlap one another which would prevent you from being fully committed to one group if you are in multiple. Keep this in mind before officially expressing interest in the interest form.
Note for Teaching Fellows: Due to a majority of scheduled meetings and events overlapping, you will not be able to be a part of the EDU Ambassadors program.
What are the benefits of being an Education Ambassador?
There are a variety of benefits that come with being an EDU Ambassador. These include building leadership skills, forming connections with the School of Education department and students, and making a positive impact on others. If you are a consistent and active member in the Education Ambassadors program, you have the chance to receive a cord for commencement/graduation and the opportunity for PRAXIS exam cost reimbursement!
How can I apply/express my interest?
There is an interest form under the "Interest Forms" tab that you can fill out! You can also speak with current ambassadors at recruitment events throughout the semester. Induction is normally in November or December, you will receive an email once interest is expressed to follow up with potential next steps before then!
If you have any other questions, please reach out to the Exec Team.
