Dear Reference:
I am applying for a Global Ambassador position at the Center for Global Education. The Global Ambassadors will serve as interns in the Center for Global Education and become part of a student leadership team that provides mentoring and programming to support new international students’ transition to academic and cocurricular life at the University of Wisconsin -Whitewater. Support provided by the Global Ambassador Leadership
Team is designed to foster the academic success of international students, improve international students’ satisfaction with their first-year experience, and provide opportunities for international and U.S. students to live with and learn from one another. I anticipate that I will gain cross-cultural understanding and experience working with students of diverse backgrounds – including both my fellow Ambassadors and the international students with whom we work.
