These student ambassadors can contribute to your marketing strategy across various touch points and channels—including posting social media posts, writing blogs, hosting campustours, and assisting with fairs and fundraising events. Perhaps your school can provide financial compensation.
Once selected, student ambassadors should represent the university at various events on and off campus.

This program offers hands-on research experience in cutting-edge laboratories under the mentorship of Stanford faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. You’d also receive one-on-one mentorship at a lab within the Institutes of Medicine at Stanford University and select departments. Who can apply? How much does it cost?

For these reasons, plan out your response and strategically prioritize your activities. Here are some additional tips: Focus on yourself.
At UA, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Consortium (UROC) provides similar opportunities for students to engage in research projects, including funding and mentorship from faculty.
As a result, these institutions have strong and influential alumni networks that can provide valuable connections, mentorship, and career opportunities for current students and fellow alumni. If in-person visits aren’t possible, explore virtual campustours and attend online events to learn more about each institution.
Last year, I started independent research and received mentorship from a UT Southwestern biochemist. On a recent UT campustour, it excited me when the tour guide shared about “Women in Psychology.” On the weekends, I volunteer with environmental organizations to dispose of unwanted waste throughout my neighborhood.
Best, [Your Name] If you have the opportunity to take a campustour, you should also make it a priority to meet with students and faculty (the latter may require arranging an appointment in advance).
