I am interested in becoming a Student Ambassador. What do they do? Student Ambassadors are an essential part of the Regional Center team! Student ambassadors are passionate Kirkwood students who want to share their own Kirkwood experience with prospective students, parents, and community members during guided building tours and presentations. They get students excited about beginning their Kirkwood experience, and share insider tips and tricks on how to be a successful student. Student ambassadors will be called upon to help with group tours, school presentations, activities and other events on the Regional Center campus. What’s in it for me? There are tons of perks! Student Ambassadors network with staff, faculty, new students and parents; plus they get many leadership opportunities. Being an Ambassador will help your communication skills both personally and professionally. Above all else, it's a great way to get involved, meet new friends and have fun! How do I get started? The first step to becoming a Kirkwood Student Ambassador is to attend our Fall Kick-off Party! This is a fun informational session for any student who is interested in joining the group.
