Our Purpose

 

The College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources Student Ambassador Program is a volunteer leadership program that offers CABNR students an opportunity to become directly involved with other students, corporate leaders and alumni through public relations and recruitment activities. The program was created in 1999 to have students represent the college at the many special activities and recruiting high school students around the state.

What is a Student Ambassador?

 

A student ambassador is an enrolled student at UNR who serves as a knowledgeable representative that provides information and services to the community about and for the college.

 

History

 

Recruitment for student ambassadors began in the Spring of 1999 in an effort to build greater community outreach. Since then, the ambassador program has been in place continuously, ranging from 11 to 24 members. The ambassadors have learned effective public relations within UNR and the surrounding community.

 

High School Recruitment

 

All members of the team are responsible for implementing student outreach services designed to help guide students from high school into college. Members are assigned to serve as the college's primary liaison to local high schools. As a liaison, the ambassador provides peer advising services for students during yearly visits to the high school.

 

Matriculation Services

 

Ambassadors help with getting newly admitted students registered for their first semester courses during Wolf Pack Advising and Registration. Additionally, Ambassadors have been utilized to assist in counseling during fall registration and enrollment periods.

 

Serving the Community

 

The ambassadors have participated in over 100 outreach and community events. They represent the college to the community during college nights, career fairs and at other informational programs. They assist as needed with the planning and implementation of special activities. The team is available to lead campus tours at the college and assist with other hospitality functions as well.
